This thesis aims at providing new knowledge on the, otherwise poorly known, molecular-scale mechanisms that operate during hydration of cement phases and dissolution of their hydrates. In order to pursue this objective, a novel approach has been followed, including the development of a new procedure to synthesize thin films of calcium silicates, real time characterization of grain growth and dissolution with liquid-cell atomic force microscopy, and monitoring of their chemical evolution by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of thin films hydrated in-situ, avoiding atmospheric contamination. Nanometer-sized films of clinker phases have been prepared using electron-beam evaporation methods. After deposition on silicon substrates, film thickness...
