Anomalous oriented attachment growth behavior on SnO2 nanocrystals

This work reports a detailed characterization of an anomalous oriented attachment behaviour for SnO(2) nanocrystals. Our results evidenced an anisotropic growth for two identical directions, which are equivalent according to the SnO(2) crystallographic structure symmetry. A hypothesis is proposed to...

Description
Summary:This work reports a detailed characterization of an anomalous oriented attachment behaviour for SnO(2) nanocrystals. Our results evidenced an anisotropic growth for two identical directions, which are equivalent according to the SnO(2) crystallographic structure symmetry. A hypothesis is proposed to describe this behaviour.
