Using fundamental measure density functional theory we investigate paranematic-nematic and nematic-nematic phase coexistence in binary mixtures of circular platelets with vanishing thicknesses. An external magnetic field induces uniaxial alignment and acts on the platelets with a strength that is taken to scale with the platelet area. At particle diameter ratio λ = 1.5 the system displays paran...

Colloidal Cu and Ag nanoparticles retain their shape during the CO2 reduction reaction (−0.8 V vs. RHE) due to immiscibility of lattices synergy at nanoscale results in enhanced methane C2 product formation.

Coeval silicate melt and aqueous synthetic fluid inclusions were INTRODUCTION formed at 800°C and 2000 bars in the quartz-saturated haploIn recent years the study of silicate melt inclusions has granite–H2O–NaCl–KCl system. The equilibrium assemblage congained considerable popularity as a method to charsisted of Ab19·2Or31·1Qtz49·1 melt, quartz, and an aqueous solution acterize the PTX evolutio...
