The calculations by @jfaraudo.bsky.social using machine learning potential were crucial to understanding the mechanism behind the role of rare earth silicates as surface active agents on iron oxide nanoparticles

Rare-Earth Silicates as High-Temperature Surfactants for the Controlled Synthesis of ε-Fe2O3 Nanoparticles The functional properties of nanocrystals can be finely tuned through controlled morphology and size. However, this can be challenging for metastable nanostructures that require harsh synthesis condit...
