KINETIC ROUTES TO THE GROWTH OF MONODISPERSE ISLANDS Academic Article

abstract

• Strictly kinetic processes can lead to the formation of monodisperse colloidal particles in solution [H. Reiss, J. Chem. Phys. 19, 482 (1951)]. We demonstrate that the narrow size distribution of Ni islands grown on a Si (100) surface by chemical vapor deposition can be modeled very well by a simple kinetic theory, which indicates that monodisperse nanoparticles can be grown on surfaces by proper control of island nucleation and growth kinetics.
