The author looked for potential mechanisms deemed insignificant in the early stages of SCC research and the current approach used in SCC studies were selected. The basis for those mechanisms was in non-nuclear corrosive environments as well as analyses of redox potential data measured under radiation. Three possible mechanisms were identified; ‘long cell action (which suppresses local cell cathodic activities and accelerates remote local cell anodic activities),’ ‘autocatalytic growth of cracks in crevice water chemistry,’ and ‘transpassive corrosion of stainless steel.’ The ‘long cell action’ has been identified as a key mechanism of soil corrosion which is induced by a difference in the availability of oxygen inside the soil. In this mechanism, conduction of electrons through an electric conductor over a long distance plays a significant role. This author proposes a hypothetical mechanism that states; ‘radiation-induced ‘long cell action’ causing electrolytic corrosion.’

The zinc(II) metal derivative of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS4) is quite labile and readily demetallates under acidic conditions, affording the parent diacid porphyrin in a monomeric form. The rate of this process is first order on [ZnTPPS4] and second order on [H+], allowing a precise control of the monomer release in solution. Under high ionic strength, this latter species is able to self-assemble into J-aggregates, whose kinetics of growth are largely modulated by pH. The aggregation kinetics have been treated according to a well-established model, in which the formation of an initial nucleus is the rate determining step preceding the autocatalytic growth of the whole assembly. The extinction spectra of the aggregates suggest the occurrence of a dipolar coupling mechanism very similar to that operating in metal nanoparticles. Spontaneous symmetry breaking takes place in these aggregates as evidenced by unusual circular dichroism spectra. The intensity and sign of the effect is controlled by the aggregation rate and therefore can be tuned through a proper choice of initial conditions.

Irradiation of aqueous [AuCl4]− with 532 nm, 8 ns pulses produces uniform 5 nm Au nanoparticles through surface plasmon-mediated photothermal autocatalytic growth, in contrast to the large polydisperse particles formed with 800 nm, 30 fs pulses.

We describe a kinetic model of ligand-mediated nanocluster (diameter < 2 nm) formation. We investigate two growth pathways: classical single-monomer addition, and autocatalytic growth. We compare our results to some relevant experiments and we discuss and generally describe the optimal conditions for "bottom up" nanocluster synthesis.<br>
