Wednesday, August 9, 2023

These components have a high affinity for water, which affects the chemical reactivity of the crystals.

Key Points: 
  • These components have a high affinity for water, which affects the chemical reactivity of the crystals.
  • Now, a research team led by Keisuke Miyazawa from the NanoLSI at Kanazawa University has developed three-dimensional (3D) microscopy technique for a detailed study of the interaction of the surfaces of these materials with water.
  • The team started by looking at the surface structures and its hydration structures of sapphire and α-quartz in water.
  • Oxide crystals usually have hydroxyl (OH) groups, which are the main "water-binding" molecules, closely linked with the oxides.
