Controlling elemental distribution in nanomaterials involves several strategies:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method allows for the precise control of thin film deposition, enabling uniform elemental distribution. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): ALD can deposit materials one atomic layer at a time, ensuring a high level of control over elemental distribution. Sol-Gel Processes: These processes enable the synthesis of nanomaterials with controlled elemental distribution through solution chemistry. Ion Implantation: This technique involves bombarding a material with ions to introduce specific elements at controlled depths and concentrations.
