Abstract

At the onset of dissolution in water, cubic MgO smoke crystals present (110) cuts of the edges of the cubes. Next, (111) facets progressively dominate the shape of the crystallites, which finally transform into truncated octahedra. The morphology of the crystallites that are derived from surface energies computed within the density functional theory (DFT), only involve (100) and (111) facets. We explain the unexpected (110) cuts via a “constrained” Wulff equilibrium shape that arises from a slower kinetics of formation of (111) facets than (110) ones. Experiment and theory fully agree on the hierarchy of hydroxylated surface energies: Γ(111) < Γ(100) < Γ(110), both supporting the partial dissociation of water on MgO(100). Finally, from low to high PH2O (high to low T), DFT-based calculations predict a switch from Wulff shapes involving dry (100) facets, in which the (100)/(111) area ratio decreases upon increasing PH2O, to shapes involving hydroxylated (100) surfaces, in which the above ratio increases with PH2O.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
