Since the size, shape, and microstructure of nanocrystalline
materials strongly impact physical and chemical properties, the
development of new synthetic routes to nanocrystals with controlled
composition and morphology is a key objective of the nanomaterials
community. This objective is dependent on control of the nucleation
and growth mechanisms that occur during the synthetic process,
which in turn requires a fundamental understanding of both
classical nucleation and growth and non-classical growth processes
in nanostructured materials. Recently, a novel growth process
called Oriented Attachment (OA) was identified which appears to be
a fundamental mechanism during the development of nanoscale
materials. OA is a special case of aggregation that provides an
important route by which nanocrystals grow, defects are formed, and
unique-often symmetry-defying-crystal morphologies can be produced.
This growth mechanism involves reversible self-assembly of primary
nanocrystals followed by reorientation of the assembled
nanoparticles to achieve structural accord at the particle-particle
interface, the removal of adsorbates and solvent molecules, and,
finally, the irreversible formation of chemical bonds to produce
new single crystals, twins, and intergrowths. Crystallization and
Growth of Colloidal Nanocrystals provides a current understanding
of the mechanisms related to nucleation and growth for use in
controlling nanocrystal morphology and physical-chemical
properties, and is essential reading for any chemist or materials
scientist with an interest in using nanocrystals as building blocks
for larger structures. This book provides a compendium for the
expert reader as well as an excellent introduction for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students seeking a gateway into this
dynamic area of research.
