Why is Gallium Liquid at Room Temperature? (Nicola Gaston, Univ. of Auckland)
Engineering Building I - Room 2018 911 Partners Way, Raleigh, NC, United StatesAbstract: The use of low-temperature liquid metals, such as gallium, as media for the dilution of other metals has led to an increasing variety of examples of how temperature- and concentration-dependent interactions can be used to direct the self-assembly of nanostructure, with astonishing precision, resulting in novel pattern formation and structural control. However the underlying…
