Connecting energetics to dynamics in particle growth by oriented attachment using real-time observations

Connecting energetics to dynamics in particle growth by oriented attachment using real-time observations

Nanocrystal growth by oriented attachment remains poorly understood, despite being a prevalent pathway in geochemical, materials synthesis, and biomineral systems. Here, the authors show that zinc oxide nanocrystals grow by oriented attachment along the (001) plane driven by dipole-dipole interactio...
