Model of Controlled Synthesis of Uniform Colloid Particles: Cadmium Sulfide
arXiv:cond-mat/0305197 · doi:10.1021/la0302044
Abstract
The recently developed two-stage growth model of synthesis of monodispersed polycrystalline colloidal particles is utilized and improved to explain growth of uniform cadmium sulfide spheres. The model accounts for the coupled processes of nucleation, which yields nanocrystalline precursors, and aggregation of these subunits to form the final particles. The key parameters have been identified that control the size selection and uniformity of the CdS spheres, as well as the dynamics of the process. This approach can be used to generally describe the formation of monodispersed colloids by precipitation from homogeneous solutions.
