Shape Transformation Mechanism of Gallium-Indium Alloyed Liquid Metal Nanoparticles

Jing He et al.

Summary: In this study, the shape transformation process of EGaIn NPs was investigated by monitoring the change of NPs' composition and morphology. The oxidation of gallium element in EGaIn NPs to form gallium oxide, which further reacts with water to generate GaOOH crystals, occurs gently at room temperature and can be accelerated by heating. This research provides insights into the dynamic dissolution and precipitation of GaOOH microrods in water.

Surface Tension of the Oxide Skin of Gallium-Based Liquid Metals

Stephan Handschuh-Wang et al.

Summary: This article explores the surface tension of gallium-based alloys, determining it to be independent of substrate surface or liquid metal used. By using gradually attenuated vibrations and the puddle height method, the researchers were able to analyze equilibrium shapes and attribute the similarity of surface tension among different alloys to the composition of the oxide skin. The findings suggest potential application of this method to other liquid metal alloys and systems for modeling, simulation, and optimization processes.
