Nature transported and deposited species by ICP MS, ESEM-EDX, Raman Microspectrometry, XRD XPS tech...

Solution-based synthesis is a powerful approach for creating nano-structured materials. Although there have been significant recent successes in its application to fabricating nanomaterials, the general principles that control solution synthesis are not well understood. The purpose of this LDRD project was to develop the scientific principles required to design and build unique nanostructures i...
