    STRONG AND WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS AND THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Scott C. Warren James F. Cahoon Wei You Joanna M. Atkin Matthew K. Brennaman © 2018 Tyler William Farnsworth ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Tyler William Farnsworth: Strong and weak interlayer interactions of two-dimensional materials and their assemblies (Under the direction of Scott C. Warren) The ability to control the properties of a macroscopic material through systematic modification of its component parts is a central theme in materials science. This concept is exemplified by the assembly of quantum dots into 3D solids, but the application of similar design principles to other quantum-confined systems, namely 2D materials, remains largely unexplored. Here I demonstrate that solution-processed 2D semiconductors retain their quantum-confined properties even when assembled into electrically conductive, thick films. Structural investigations show how this behavior is caused by turbostratic disorder and interlayer adsorbates, which weaken interlayer interactions and allow access to a quantum- confined but electronically coupled state. I generalize these findings to use a variety of 2D building blocks to create electrically conductive 3D solids with virtually any band gap. I next introduce a strategy for discovering new 2D materials. Previous efforts to identify novel 2D materials were limited to van der Waals layered materials, but I demonstrate that layered crystals with strong interlayer interactions can be exfoliated into few-layer or monolayer materials.

  • Romarchite, Hydroromarchite and Abhurite Formed During the Corrosion of Pewter Artifacts from the Queen Anne’S Revenge (1718)
    659 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 41, pp. 659-669 (2003) ROMARCHITE, HYDROROMARCHITE AND ABHURITE FORMED DURING THE CORROSION OF PEWTER ARTIFACTS FROM THE QUEEN ANNE’S REVENGE (1718) STACIE E. DUNKLE, JAMES R. CRAIG§ AND J. DONALD RIMSTIDT Department of Geological Sciences, Virginia Polytechnic and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061-0420, U.S.A. ¶ WAYNE R. LUSARDI Underwater Archaeology Branch, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, Institute of Marine Sciences, 3431 Arendell Street, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Pewter, a tin-rich alloy, has been widely used for ornamental and utilitarian purposes for the last 400 years because it is durable, relatively easily worked, resistant to corrosion, and similar to silver in appearance. Pewter plates and implements have been recovered and examined from what is believed to be the wreck site of the Queen Anne’s Revenge, flagship of the pirate Blackbeard, that sank near Beaufort, North Carolina in 1718. All of the pewter artifacts from the site display a surface veneer of corrosion products and may be viewed as experiments on tin corrosion that have been continuously in operation for more than 280 years. Mineralogical examination of the pewter samples has revealed that the corrosion products are composed of romarchite (SnO), hydroromarchite [Sn3O2(OH)2], and abhurite [Sn21Cl16(OH)14O6]. The corrosion generally develops in crudely concentric layers, with an inner layer of abhurite in contact with the pewter; the overlying outer layers consist of romarchite and hydroromarchite. Romarchite, hydroromarchite, and abhurite occur as irregular grains and laths up to 100 micrometers in length. Abhurite also occurs as masses of equant grains with abundant small inclusions of residual pewter.

If separation of immiscible phases was Immiscibility (unmixing of melts and fluids) efficient, the residual magma should be significantly should be almost inevitable at some point in the depleted in incompatible volatiles and metals evolution of most mantle and crustal magmas relative to the parental magma, and reconstructing during cooling and crystallization. Formation of two the original metal and volatile content is extremely immiscible phases “results in a major geochemical difficult. One rapidly developing approach to this fractionation – all chemical species present, the problem is the use of melt and fluid inclusions elements (and their isotopes), and their various trapped and preserved in magmatic minerals (e.g., compounds, become distributed between these two Roedder 1992, De Vivo & Frezzotti 1994, Bodnar phases…the compositional divergence between the 1995, Lowenstern 1995, Student & Bodnar 1999, two phases is…extreme” (Roedder 2003).

Such immiscibility, and physical parameters of their inclusions provide the closest approximation to evolution in the plutonic environments, mean that samples of continuously evolving (and thus each intrusion should be expected to show ephemeral) melts and magmatic fluids. Many differences in the processes of exsolution and studies of magmatic inclusions have made possible compositions of exsolving phases.

  • IMA–CNMNC Approved Mineral Symbols
    Mineralogical Magazine (2021), 85, 291–320 doi:10.1180/mgm.2021.43 Article IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols Laurence N. Warr* Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, 17487 Greifswald, Germany Abstract Several text symbol lists for common rock-forming minerals have been published over the last 40 years, but no internationally agreed standard has yet been established. This contribution presents the first International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) approved collection of 5744 mineral name abbreviations by combining four methods of nomenclature based on the Kretz symbol approach. The collection incorporates 991 previously defined abbreviations for mineral groups and species and presents a further 4753 new symbols that cover all currently listed IMA minerals. Adopting IMA– CNMNC approved symbols is considered a necessary step in standardising abbreviations by employing a system compatible with that used for symbolising the chemical elements.
