Trapping single atoms of noble gases in nanocages: from fundamental studies to applications — •Jorge Anibal Boscoboinik — Center for Functional Nanomaterials, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA
Confinement effects can result in exciting properties in the chemistry and physics of small molecules. In this talk, we will explore the trapping of noble gases in the confined space inside silicate nanocages and at the interface between these cages and their metal support. Understanding the fundamental aspects of these confinement effects can lead to designing new materials for specific applications. Based on the lessons from the fundamental studies for noble gas trapping in 2D-model systems, we are developing new nanoarchitectures that are potentially scalable and can be used for various applications related to producing and detecting noble gases.
