Towards an atomic-scale understanding of crystal growth in solution.
Our understanding of crystal growth continues to increase thanks to progress in theoretical models, computer simulations and experimental techniques. A discussion of the state-of-the-art in morphology prediction and of the determination of the solid-liquid interface structure using X-ray diffraction shows, however, that there is still a large gap between experiment and theory. We expect that co...
متن کاملAtomic Layer Deposition of Titanium Oxide on Single-Layer Graphene: An Atomic-Scale Study toward Understanding Nucleation and Growth
Controlled synthesis of a hybrid nanomaterial based on titanium oxide and single-layer graphene (SLG) using atomic layer deposition (ALD) is reported here. The morphology and crystallinity of the oxide layer on SLG can be tuned mainly with the deposition temperature, achieving either a uniform amorphous layer at 60 °C or ∼2 nm individual nanocrystals on the SLG at 200 °C after only 20 ALD cycle...
متن کاملTowards solution and refinement of organic crystal structures by fitting to the atomic pair distribution function.
A method towards the solution and refinement of organic crystal structures by fitting to the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) is developed. Approximate lattice parameters and molecular geometry must be given as input. The molecule is generally treated as a rigid body. The positions and orientations of the molecules inside the unit cell are optimized starting from random values. The PDF i...
متن کاملStructural Materials: Understanding Atomic-Scale Microstructures
725 Abstract With the ability to locate and identify atoms in three dimensions, atom-probe tomography (APT) has revolutionized our understanding of structure-property relationships in materials used for structural applications. The atomic-scale details of clusters, second phases, and microstructural defects that control alloy properties have been investigated, providing an unprecedented level o...
متن کاملAtomic-scale control of TiO6 octahedra through solution chemistry towards giant dielectric response
The structures of many important functional oxides contain networks of metal-oxygen polyhedral units i.e. MOn. The correlation between the configurations and connectivities of these MOn to properties is essentially important to be well established to conduct the design, synthesis and application of new MOn-based functional materials. In this paper, we report on an atomic-scale solution-chemistr...
