Connecting energetics to dynamics in particle growth by oriented attachment using real-time observations
L. Liu, E. Nakouzi, et al.
This research by Lili Liu and colleagues explores the fascinating crystal growth mechanism of oriented attachment (OA) in ZnO nanocrystals. The study uncovers how electrostatic forces and dipolar interactions play a significant role in driving OA, with the capacity to influence particle alignment at distances greater than 5 nm. Discover the profound dynamics of nanocrystal assembly revealed through in situ TEM observations combined with simulations.
