Adsorption and Separation Processes in Nano-Porous Materials

Alain Fuchs, head of the Physical Chemistry Laboratory in Paris-Sud, Orsay, will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/

Adsorption and Separation Processes in Nano-Porous Materials

Nano-porous materials are gaining increasing importance in industrial applications (molecular sieving, ion exchange and catalysis to mention only a few of the most widespread applications). A large variety of such materials are used, ranging from disordered materials such as the conventional activated carbon to crystalline zeolites and related open-framework inorganic materials. In addition, new type of materials such as templated mesoporous materials or carbon nanotubes are attracting a great deal of interest today, from which interesting applications will presumably emerge in the near future. Whatever these materials are used for, a crucial role is played by adsorption and transport of the guest molecules. In addition, adsorption data are commonly used to characterize the porous materials (pore width and pore size distribution). While the macroscopic science of this field is well developed, there is a need for a more fundamental microscopic understanding of the phenomena, as well as means for predicting thermodynamics and transport properties in a variety of guest-host systems. Molecular simulation, in conjunction with experiments, has played an important role in the past few years in developing our understanding of the relation between microscopic and macroscopic properties of confined molecular fluids in nanoporous materials. Some of the most recent developments in this field will be reviewed in this talk.

From a fundamental point of view, if a fluid is confined to spaces of dimensions comparable to the range of intermolecular interactions, its structural, dynamic and thermodynamic behavior is altered markedly compared to the corresponding bulk behavior under identical thermodynamic conditions. Wetting is one of the unique features caused by the presence of solid substrates. Experimentally, novel techniques now permit to prepare solid substrates that are decorated with a second chemical species in a controlled manner on a nanoscopic length scale. Understanding the wetting properties of such substrates is of great importance in micro (nano)-fluidics applications. Some of the recent progress in the modeling of fluids confined by nanopatterned substrates will be presented.

The last part of the talk will be devoted to molecular sieving processes using microporous zeolitic materials. Molecular simulations have played an important role in understanding the adsorption, diffusion, chemical reactions and the synthesis in these materials. Whereas ten years ago simulations were limited to noble gases or small alkanes in purely siliceous zeolites, progress in the simulation techniques have allowed us to simulate large chain alkanes, aromatics and other polar fluids in a diversity of cationic zeolites or other open framework materials. While the chemistry of these materials used to be studied on small clusters, ab initio molecular dynamics allows nowadays the simulation of an entire unit cell of zeolite. A variety of simulation strategies have been developed in the past few years to model molecular diffusion in zeolite pores. Finally, nucleation processes during zeolite synthesis has been the subject of very recent simulation works. How far are we from being able to carry out an " in silico design" of a zeolite for a given application (such as binary mixture separation) is the question that will be addressed in reviewing the most recent progress in this field.

Atomic-Scale Fabrication of a Silicon-based Quantum Computer

Neil Curson, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology, at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, presented the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar is available for viewing and discussion through the Internanotech Community at http://nanotech.colayer.net/

Atomic-Scale Fabrication of a Silicon-based Quantum Computer

Quantum computers have the potential to dramatically reduce computing time for problems such as factoring [1] and database searching [2]. In particular a silicon-based quantum computer [3] shows promise for its potential to scale to a large number of qubits and for its compatibility with standard CMOS processing.

Our group has designed a fabrication strategy for the realisation of a scaleable quantum computer based in silicon using a combination of scanning probe microscopy for single qubit placement and silicon molecular beam epitaxy to encapsulate the qubit array [4]. In order to achieve this goal we have demonstrated the following key steps: we have been able to incorporate single P atoms as the qubits in silicon with atomic precision [5]; we have been able to minimise P segregation and diffusion during Si encapsulation [6] and we have imaged the array of buried P atoms using scanning tunneling microscopy to prove that the array remains intact after the encapsulation stage. Recently we have been able to fabricate a robust electrical device in silicon using the scanning tunneling microscope to lithographically pattern the dopants [7] and have demonstrated that this device can be contacted and measured outside the ultra-high vacuum environment.

We highlight the importance of our results for the fabrication of a Si-based quantum computer and discuss the final stages of the fabrication process required to realize a functional device, including the formation of an electrical isolation barrier and the alignment of surface metal electrodes to the buried P atom array.

Nanolithography with a Modified Scanning Electron Microscope

Grahame Rosolen, nanofabrication expert at CSIRO, Sydney, Australia, will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/

Nanolithography with a Modified Scanning Electron Microscope

Electron Beam lithography offers the ability to expose patterns with nanoscale dimensions. It may be used to directly fabricate individual nanostructures or to make nanoscale masters for mass production of nanoscale devices. A direct-write electron beam lithography instrument has been developed based around the electron optics, sample stage and vacuum system of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The instrument has been used to write a variety of devices with nanoscale dimensions including nanowires, optical detectors, surface acoustic wave devices, high electron mobility transistors, diffraction gratings and optically variable devices. A computer controlled pattern generator and pattern alignment system has been developed and interfaced to the deflection coils, electron detector and beam blanking of the SEM. This provides digital control of the electron beam for exposing patterns and also allows images to be acquired for use in pattern alignment prior to exposure. A novel image correlation technique is used to align the exposed patterns with structures already on the sample. The ability to prepare the pattern data, exposure the nanoscale patterns and subsequently image the fabricated devices, all with the one instrument, enables rapid prototyping and study of a wide range of nanoscale devices.

Simulating Nanoflows in Nanopores

Nick Quirke, Professor of Physical Chemistry and Head of the Computational, Theoretical and Structural Chemistry group at Imperial College, University of London, will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/:

Simulating Nanoflows

The way fluids flow into and fill regular nanopores is of wide interest, however there are currently no experimental data or validated theoretical models for this nanoscale process. Nanoscale flow is dominated by surface properties and these can be studied using molecular simulation.

We first consider equilibrium and steady state flow in nanopores [1] and show using molecular dynamics that the tracer diffusivity depends only weakly on the conditions at the fluid–solid interface, whereas the collective diffusivity is a strong function of the hydrodynamic boundary conditions. A relationship between the collective diffusivity and the Maxwell coefficient describing wall collisions is obtained [2]. The Maxwell coefficient is related to the surface friction and interfacial viscosity.

Turning to transient flows we have carried out molecular dynamics simulations of carbon nanotubes imbibing oil at an oil/vapour interface at 300K [3,4]. We find that the smallest (7,7) nanotubes imbibe extremely rapidly ( < or = 800 m/ s) along the inner tube surface with the penetration length L a linear function of time. We derive expressions for the penetration length L and the velocity of the imbibing oil and relate both to the solid-fluid surface tensions and interfacial friction via the Maxwell coefficient. The imbibition of oil by nanotubes is contrasted with the wetting of their external surfaces and that of planar surfaces. Density profiles (and the molecular structure) of the imbibing fluid in the pores are analysed as a function of time. We present [5] analytical expressions for the density profiles (in x and t) of the imbibing fluid as a function of the minimum decane-pore potential and the pore surface friction. We are therefore able to provide a complete description of imbibition of decane for a wide range of nanopores.

Finally we discuss nanopore- surface junctions and present molecular dynamics results for flow in such systems[6]

Molecular Dynamics of Nonequilibrium Flows: From Simple Atoms to Dendrimers in Bulk and Nano-confined Geometries

Billy Todd, Professor in computational science at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/

Molecular Dynamics of Nonequilibrium Flows: From Simple Atoms to Dendrimers in Bulk and Nano-confined Geometries

The molecular simulation of fluids has in recent years become an exciting field of fundamental and applied research. On a fundamental level, problems in statistical mechanics and classical dynamics once thought intractable are now feasible with the aid of modern supercomputers. Advances made on this level include the study of systematic departures from conventional Navier-Stokes fluid dynamics on molecular length and time-scales and the connection between statistical mechanics and the theory of dynamical systems (i.e., chaos). On the applied front, the advances made in molecular simulation are allowing more refined predictions of the thermophysical, viscoelastic and transport properties of fluids for nanotechnological applications.

In this talk some recent advances made at the Centre for Molecular Simulation at Swinburne will be discussed, with a particular focus on the problem of nano-scale fluids far from equilibrium. It will be demonstrated how novel materials such as dendrimers can be successfully modelled using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics methods and how the distortion of their geometry by the imposed field has a significant influence on the transport properties of such fluids. Furthermore, we reveal how a famous chaotic mapping scheme can be usefully employed for molecular dynamics simulations of an important industrial flow, namely elongational flow. Finally, we implement a non-local constitutive model for the transport coefficients of nano-confined fluids (e.g., flows in nanoporous materials) and show how such a model can be used to compute a meaningful position dependent shear viscosity for inhomogeneous fluids and the flow profiles for fluids in arbitrary nano-confined geometries without the restricting (and incorrect) assumptions of conventional Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics.

Theoretical Nanoscale Design of Self-Cleaning Surfaces

David Henry, Postdoctoral Fellow in Applied Physics at RMIT University, Victoria, Australia, will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/ both during the conference and after the conference.

Theoretical Nanoscale Design of Self-Cleaning Surfaces

In the last few years there has been a considerable amount of work on the development of contamination resistant coatings. One approach is based on the ‘lotus effect' which is observed in nature. Leaves of lotus plants are known to stay clean even in dirty environments and it is now clear that this cleanliness is caused by the extreme non-wetting character of the leaves, with water contact angles greater than 150º. This super-non-wetting character is a result of the leaf surface being covered by a layer of low surface energy wax that is extremely rough on a nano-scale. One of the difficulties involved in using this effect in a synthetic system is that the low surface energy, rough surfaces are easily damaged and can be contaminated by higher surface energy organic contaminants. The lotus plant solves this problem by continually exuding wax to the surface, but this may be difficult to reproduce in a synthetic system. An alternative approach is to produce a strongly hydrophilic surface for which hydrophobic contaminants have little or no affinity and where water would easily remove any contaminants coming in contact with the surface.

We are involved in the nano-scale design and modification of organic coating surfaces for contamination resistance using theoretical techniques. Simulations are performed to gain a better understanding of the nature of the interaction between carbonaceous contaminants and polymer surfaces. The figure illustrates a fully atomistic model of an interface between a polymer surface and graphite which approximates common carbonaceous contaminants. Using classical potentials we calculate the adhesion energy as a function of interfacial separation (shown) for such interfaces with varying polymer surface composition. With this knowledge we are then able to propose surface modifications that will lead to reduced adhesion of contaminants prior to costly experimental testing.

Hydrogen storage in nanotubes – has it all gone pear-shaped?: A computational perspective

Julian Gale, Professor of Computational Chemistry at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/

Hydrogen storage in nanotubes – has it all gone pear-shaped?: A computational perspective

Hydrogen has been proposed as the clean energy source of the future, since the combustion product is only water. However, this requires both the efficient generation of hydrogen and an effective means of transportation. There has been considerable interest in the possibility of employing carbon nanotubes for hydrogen storage, as an alternative to compression or metal hydrides.

While it is likely that the majority of hydrogen will be physisorbed, either within the nanotubes, or in the space between them, there is also the possibility that some hydrogen may be chemisorbed. The thermodynamics of the reactivity of carbon nanotubes with respect to this process has been investigated using non-local density functional theory, as implemented within the SIESTA approach [1]. The variation with respect to the radius of a one-dimensional infinite nanotube has been examined, as well as the trend with successive hydrogenations. In addition, the influence of the termination of the nanotube has been investigated. Chemisorption is found to strongly perturb the shape of nanotubes, which will have important consequences for their physisorption capacity and other properties.

In order to extend the configuration space accessible, the reactivity of nanotubes with respect to hydrogen has been further explored through the use of bond-order potentials of the form proposed by Brenner et al [2], as implemented within the program GULP3 [3]. Through this approach, a preliminary evaluation of the kinetics of the process has also been made. Finally, the influence of doping of the nanotube has been considered to see if it would assist in improving the characteristics of such materials for hydrogen storage.

Ultramicroelectrodes for detection of chemical messengers

Christian Amatore, Director of the Chemistry Department of Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS), Member of the French Académie des Sciences and Editor of the major international electrochemical journal (J. Electroanal. Chem.) will present the following seminar from the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience (7-11 September 2004). The seminar will be available throughout September and October for viewing and discussion through the Nanotech Hub at http://nanotech.colayer.net/:


Ultramicroelectrodes for detection of chemical messengers

Living cells exchange information through the emission of chemical messengers. The importance of such messengers has been widely recognized by biologists. However what is less understood is how these chemical messengers are released by the cell in its outer-cytoplasmic fluids. This difficulty is easily understood when one becomes aware that most of these releases occur in the atto- or femtomole ranges which prevents the use of classical analytical methods. We wish to show here that ultramicroelectrodes may prove extremely useful for monitoring such events.

In this lecture we will be concerned by exocytosis of neurotransmitters although the same method may be applied to investigate oxidative stress cellular bursts. The target cells are chromaffin cells which are located above kidneys. These cells produce the initial adrenaline burst which induces fast body reactions; they are used in neurosciences as standard models for synaptic exocytosis by cathecolaminergic neurons. Prior to exocytosis, adrenaline is contained in highly concentrated solutions into a gel matrix packed into small vesicles dispersed in the cytoplasm near the cell membrane. Stimulation of the cell by divalent ions induces the fusion of the vesicles membranes with that of the cell and hence the release of the intravesicular content into the outer-cytoplasmic region.

Electrochemical data permit to describe the whole process of exocytosis with a precision that has never been achieved before by nano-optical or patch-clamp techniques. This enables to investigate kinetically these events and conclude upon the physicochemical origin of the individual factors which govern vesicular release. Based on this analysis, one may propose a first-time quantitative explanation for the release of chemical messengers by dense-core vesicles.
