Bouncing of Hydroxylated Silica Nanoparticles: an Atomistic Study Based on REAX Potentials

Abstract Clean silica surfaces have a high surface energy. In consequence, colliding silica nanoparticles will stick rather than bounce over a wide range of collision velocities. Often, however, silica surfaces are passivated by adsorbates, in particular water, which considerably reduce the surface...
