Transmission electron microscopy is a powerful tool to directly image crystal structures. Not
only that, it is often used to reveal crystal size and morphology, crystal orientation, crystal …

Investigation of the early stage morphologies of some organic and inorganic systems has
established that their crystal growth does not always follow the classical route established …

Textured and house-of-card structures develop on the surfaces of cubic MOF-5 crystals. The
formation mechanisms of these novel constructions are investigated based on …

Metal–organic framework, MOF-5, is re-synthesised using an established method, which
reveals an extraordinary formation mechanism. The earliest detected crystalline phase is …

Modification of prototype perovskite compound SrTiO3 by introducing foreign elements has
been an appealing means to endow this wide band gap semiconductor with visible light …

Facile and low-cost aqueous chemical bath deposition route has been demonstrated to
fabricate Eu-and Sm-doped ZnO microstructures. The effect of Eu and Sm ions on the …

Our ability to visualize and quantify the internal structures of objects via computed
tomography (CT) has fundamentally transformed science. As tomographic tools have …

We herein report novel hollow SAPO-34 cubes with a hierarchical internal structure. They
are prepared from dry gels containing gelatin by a vapor-phase transport method …

In the last decade, a reversed growth route has been found in many crystal growth
processes. In these systems, a single crystal does not develop from a single nucleus. The …

Calcite crystals with a rhombohedral morphology were synthesized using a biomimetic
method in the presence of organic structure-directing agents (chitosan and gum arabic) …
