Formation of zinc oxide micro-disks via layer-by-layer growth and growth mechanism of ZnO nanostructures

Effects of ammonium citrate additive on crystal morphology of aluminum phosphate ammonium taranakite

“…However, since NH 4 -AlPO 4 commonly has a layer-by-layer structure [22], we consider that the formation of the round disk-like crystals cannot only be explained by the above mechanism. Perhaps the layer-bylayer growth mechanism of Yang et al [29] is fit to explain our result, even though we have not confirmed the occurrence of layer-by-layer growth by now. Further investigation is still required to clarify the role of AMC in forming the disk-like NH 4 -AlPO 4 crystal.…”

Effect of 3D ZnO:Fe morphology on the photocatalytic activity under solar irradiation

“…The rate of crystal growth in all directions becomes different. As reported by Yang et al [23], the formation of flakes shows that the ZnO crystals grow mainly along the six directions of the h1010i plane, while preferential growth of [0001] direction is suppressed. With the ammonia water increasing, the nucleation rate and [24,25].…”

Direct observation of two-dimensional growth at SiO2/Si(111) interface

“…For crystal growth, p c usually becomes larger when temperature is increased [32]. So, dS/dt has not been often considered for r. However, for oxidation, dS/dt seems to determine r from formula (1) because we could not find the apparent increase in number density of oxide-islands, which is proportional to p c , at high temperature.…”
