Nanomaterials are the fundamental ingredients for nanotechnology. The behaviors of nanomaterials are distingctly different from those of the bulk materials. With the increased surface-to-volume ratio when the size of an object reaches nanometer scale, various growth processes and phenomena that do not occur for large-size bulk may start to emerge, because surface effect takes an important role in determining the shape of the nanostructure. Understanding the physical and chemical processes of how...
