Abstract

Abstract The aggregative growth and oriented attachment of nanocrystals and nanoparticles are reviewed, and they are contrasted to classical LaMer nucleation and growth, and to Ostwald ripening. Kinetic and mechanistic models are presented, and experiments directly observing aggregative growth and oriented attachment are summarized. Aggregative growth is described as a nonclassical nucleation and growth process. The concept of a nucleation function is introduced, and approximated with a Gaussian form. The height (Γmax) and width (Δtn) of the nucleation function are systematically varied by conditions that influence the colloidal stability of the small, primary nanocrystals participating in aggregative growth. The nucleation parameters Γmax and Δtn correlate with the final nanocrystal mean size and size distribution, affording a potential means of achieving nucleation control in nanocrystal synthesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
