The crystal growth mechanism, kinetics, and microstructure development play a fundamental
role in tailoring the materials with controllable sizes and morphologies. The classical crystal …

We summarise the properties and the fundamental mathematical results associated with
basic models which describe coagulation and fragmentation processes in a deterministic …

Aimed at graduate students, this book explores some of the core phenomena in non-
equilibrium statistical physics. It focuses on the development and application of theoretical …

The organizational development of growing random networks is investigated. These
growing networks are built by adding nodes successively, and linking each to an earlier …

It has been experimentally established in numerous cases that precipitation of
monodispersed colloids from homogeneous solutions is a complex process. Specifically, it …

Crystal growth of ZnS nanoparticles during hydrothermal coarsened in 4 M NaOH occurs via
a two-stage process. In the first stage, the primary particles grow into a size over hundred …

The aggregation of adatoms into 2D islands is studied as a function of coverage FTHETA
and the ratio of surface diffusion rate to deposition rate gerR= D/F by Monte Carlo …

Uniform spheres of (Y1− x Gd x) 2O3 (x= 0–1) are valuable for applications in phosphors, in
optical ceramics fabrication, and in combinatorial synthesis. We made in this work such …

Fundamental issues of the kinetics of phase separations on surfaces are reviewed with an
emphasis on developments during the period from 1990 to present. Issues covered …

We report on real-time observations of the aggregation of gold nanoparticles using a custom-
made liquid cell that allows for in situ electron microscopy. Process kinetics and fractal …
