Wulff constructions are a powerful tool to predict the shape of nanoparticles, which strongly
influences their performance in catalysis, sensing, and surface-enhanced spectroscopies …

The shape control and formation mechanism of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by a
modified hot-injection method were investigated. Monodisperse Fe3O4 nanocubes …

We present modeling approaches to explain mechanisms of control of uniformity (narrow
distribution) of sizes and shapes in synthesis of nanosize crystals and micron-size colloids …

In colloid and nanoparticle chemistry, particle size, shape, crystallinity, surface morphology,
and composition are controlled by employing the mechanisms of burst nucleation …

A kinetic Monte Carlo approach is applied for studying shape instability of nanowires that
results in their breaking up into chains of nanoparticles. Our approach can be used to …

Experimental results for corner rounding in nanoparticles as a function of size are reported.
We find that the rounding is independent of size, which appears to violate the conditions for …

A kinetic Monte Carlo approach is applied to study physical mechanisms responsible for the
breakup of nanowires with the diamond cubic crystal structure into a chain of nanoparticles …

In this research, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and high angle
annular dark field–scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) studies of …

Magnetically contrasted granular hetero‐nanostructures are prepared by seed‐mediated
growth in polyol, properly combining two oxide phases with different magnetic order …

Most protocols developed to synthesize nanoparticles (NPs) and to control their shape are
inspired from nucleation and growth theories. However, to rationalize the mechanisms of the …
