How Do Lattice Parameters Influence Nanomaterial Synthesis?
The synthesis of nanomaterials often involves controlling their lattice parameters to achieve desired properties. For instance, in quantum dots, the size and shape of the nanoparticles, which are related to their lattice parameters, affect their optical and electronic properties. By manipulating the conditions during synthesis, such as temperature, pressure, and precursor concentration, researchers can tailor the lattice parameters to produce nanomaterials with specific characteristics.
