Nanoparticle surface dynamics in the diffusive modes of transformation, development of methods of controlled synthesis and regulation of nanoobjects selfarrangement processes
Methods for morphology control in a process of nanostructures growth by deposition of atoms diffusing from solution to the forming surface are developed. Surface restructuring is considered, yielding morphologies of interest in catalysis. Shape selection for nanoparticles and surface nanostructures occurs in appropriate "nonequilibrium" regime of properly balanced rates of various processes.
