What Techniques are Used to Control Crystallization?
Several techniques are employed to control crystallization at the nanoscale, including:
1. Solvothermal Synthesis: This involves using solvents at high temperatures and pressures to achieve controlled nucleation and growth of nanocrystals. 2. Electrodeposition: A method to create nanocrystals on a conductive substrate by applying an electric current, which can precisely control the growth rate. 3. Template-Assisted Crystallization: Using a pre-formed template to guide the crystallization process, ensuring uniform size and shape of nanocrystals. 4. Seed-Mediated Growth: Introducing small seed crystals into a solution to promote uniform growth of larger crystals.
