Lack of detailed understanding of the growth mechanism of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals has hindered sophisticated morphological and chemical control of this important emerging optoelectronic material. Here, we have elucidated the growth mechanism by slowing the reaction kinetics. When 1-bromohexane is used as an alternative halide source, bromide is slowly released into the reaction mixture, extending the reaction time from ~3 seconds to greater than 20 minutes. This enables us to monitor the phase evolution of products over the course of reaction, revealing that CsBr is the initial species formed, followed by Cs4PbBr6, and finally CsPbBr3. Further, formation of monodisperse CsBr nanocrystals is demonstrated in a bromide-deficient and lead-abundant solution. The CsBr can only be transformed into CsPbBr3 nanocubes if additional bromide is added. Our results indicate a fundamentally different growth mechanism for CsPbBr3 in comparison with more established semiconductor nanocrystal systems and reveal the critical role of the chemical availability of bromide for the growth reactions.<br>

AbstractThe initial stages of heteroepitaxial growth of GaAs on Si have been observed using a technique of graded-thickness sample deposition. We find that an initial uniform passivating layer is grown, followed by three-dimensional nucleation determined by Ga diffusion and clustering, followed in turn by an interfacial reaction limited island growth mechanism. Results for various substrate temperatures and substrate orientations are consistent with the simple models of nucleation and growth.

ABSTRACTHighly oriented diamond films were deposited on a (001) silicon substrate by bias enhanced MPCVD technique. Three-dimensional TEM characterizations were carried out to understand the nucleation and growth mechanism of diamond grains. The surface morphology, defects, and misorientations of diamond films were compared as a function of synthesizing temperatures and thickness of the films. From our experimental results the texture formation mechanism of diamond films is discussed.

Three-dimensional (3D) cobalt oxide (Co3O4) flowers with different shapes were prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis. The morphology of Co3O4 precursors has adjusted obviously from acicular shapes to acicular-sheet-like flowers and then to sheet-like flowers by changing reaction temperature and solution concentration. After annealing, as-prepared precursors were converted into 3D flower-like Co3O4 samples and their morphology and sizes were well preserved. The effect of experimental conditions on growth of Co3O4 precursors was explored and the growth mechanism was proposed. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of various Co3O4 with different shapes were tested. The result of electrochemical investigation indicates that 3D flower-like Co3O4 assembled by sheets exhibited high capacitance and excellent cycling performance.
