The Missing Idea
• Emergence of properties at scale
• We talk about it all the time
• But no one ever explains it
• Because……
Emergence is a very difficult topic to talk about!

Size Dependent Properties“Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of heat transfer based on classical statistical mechanics allow the atom to have thermal heat capacity through kT energy. Here k is Boltzmann’s constant and T absolute temperature. The above picture shows melting temperatures applied on the left with the right maintained at freezing. The simulation is discreted and submicron. But lacking periodicity, MD solutions of discrete nanostructures are invalid by QM. Here QM stands for quantum mechanics. Unlike statistical mechanics, QM forbids atoms in discrete submicron nanostructures to have heat capacity, and therefore the nanostructure cannot conserve EM energy by an increase in temperature. Without temperature changes, thermal conduction is precluded at the nanoscale.”
Melting point is an emergent property

Nanopatterns
• Network archetypes• Memorizing patterns, vs. structures• Patterns of atoms in structural networks• Atoms as nodes, each with atomic orbitals
=> focus on bonding networks• Network archetypes => nanosystems
– Smaller motifs, that expand into systems

Nanopatterns Rubric
• Networks of atoms• Systems of physics• Emergence of
properties at scale
• Draw network of atoms for a structural system
• Sketch out the chemical bonding / orbital network
• Look at the extended structure as a system

Nano-OnionNano onion is a proposed structure for graphene which wraps itself into larger spheres and then into chains. The mechanism for forming the spheres is not known, but might be influenced by the chirality of the nanocarbon network, i.e., the armchair/zigzag m/n ratio. This factor can be measured in Raman G band (as G- and G+), and additionally in solid state 13C NMR. Nano-onion is an example of an extended nanostructure becoming a nanosystem, and having levels of unfolding complexity at scales of tens, hundreds, and thousands of Angstroms. The ability to ‘tune’ the chirality of the graphene networks, and alter the unfolding structure at the mesoscale, is one of the goals of combining the nanopatterns rubric with PNPA.

Networks of atoms in novel nanoscale structures
“Dancing Triangles' are formed by sulfur atoms on a layer of copper, which in turn rests upon a base, or 'substrate' of ruthenium. Scientists at Brookhaven Lab will study this type of configuration to understand how metal behaves on top of another. Layered metals are often used as catalysts, such as those that clean pollutants from automobile exhaust in catalytic converters.”
