Evidence of Power‐Law Scaling Regimes for Nanoscale‐Resolved Reaction Rates at Mineral‐Water Interfaces

We report the first quantitative analysis of statistical scaling of dissolution rates driving nanoscale self-organization of the interface between a mineral and flowing water. Our study provides evidence of emergence of cross-over between two power-law scaling regimes characterized by distinct levels of persistence. We tie these to the action of nanoscale features of dissolution patterns and capture experimental behaviors through a new theoretical framework. This opens unprecedented avenues to analyze chemical weathering imprinting alterations of mineral-water interfaces.
