A Joint Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Nanomorphology of CaWO4 Crystals
ACS (2011-08)By the joint use of experimental techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and ab initio ... -
Anomalous oriented attachment growth behavior on SnO2 nanocrystals
Royal Society of Chemistry (2011)This work reports a detailed characterization of an anomalous oriented attachment behaviour for SnO2 nanocrystals. Our results evidenced an anisotropic growth for two identical 〈110〉 directions, which are equivalent according ... -
Back to the basics: probing the role of surfaces in the experimentally observed morphological evolution of ZnO
MDPI (2023-03-08)Although the physics and chemistry of materials are driven by exposed surfaces in the morphology, they are fleeting, making them inherently challenging to study experimentally. The rational design of their morphology and ...

Disentangling the effects of Laser and electron irradiation on AgX (X = Cl, Br, and I) : insights from quantum chemical calculations
American Chemical Society (2024-01-22)The effects on the lattice structure and electronic properties of different polymorphs of silver halide, AgX (X = Cl, Br, and I), induced by laser irradiation (LI) and electron irradiation (EI) are investigated using a ...

Laser-induced formation of bismuth nanoparticles
Royal Society of Chemistry (2018)In the current communication, the synthesis of metallic Bi nanoparticles with coexisting crystallographic structures (rhombohedral, monoclinic, and cubic) obtained via direct femtosecond laser irradiation of NaBiO3 is ...

Laser/Electron Irradiation on Indium Phosphide (InP) Semiconductor: Promising Pathways to In Situ Formation of Indium Nanoparticles
Wiley (2018)In the current study, whether femtosecond laser and electron beam irradiation of indium phosphide (InP) are “green,” fast, and effective methods to produce metallic In nanoparticles is probed. High-resolution transmission ...

Prediction of dopant atom distribution on nanocrystals using thermodynamic arguments
Royal Society of Chemistry (2014)A theoretical approach aiming at the prediction of segregation of dopant atoms on nanocrystalline systems is discussed here. It considers the free energy minimization argument in order to provide the most likely dopant ...

Surfactant-Mediated Morphology and Photocatalytic Activity of α‑Ag2WO4 Material
American Chemical Society (2018-03)In the present work, the morphology (hexagonal rod-like vs cuboid-like) of an α-Ag2WO4 solid-state material is manipulated by a simple controlled-precipitation method, with and without the presence of the anionic surfactant ...

Synthesis of Cuboctahedral CeO2 Nanoclusters and Their Assembly into Cuboid Nanoparticles by Oriented Attachment
(2017)Here, we describe a simple approach to control the oriented attachment process through selective ligand scavenging from the {100} facets of CeO2 nanoclusters. Aggregates of these nanoclusters smaller than 10 nm with ...

The hinge morphology of SnO2 as multifunctional semiconductor: What we can learn from simulations, theory, and experiments
Elsevier (2023-06-15)Our interaction with materials occurs through their surfaces whose properties are strongly dependent on morphology, structure, and atomic arrangement. Unfortunately, obtaining a detailed correlation between the surface ...
