Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied oriented attachment of various nanoscale rectangular blocks in iquid media as non-classical routes for fabrication techniques of nanoscale functional materials. First, we developed the controllability of oriented attachment for manganese oxide rectangular nanoblocks through changing the stabilizing agents, deposition rate, and the surface shape of the substrate. Second, we studied oriented attachment of rectangular nanoblocks composed of titanium dioxide, hydroxylapatite, and calcite. Finally, we provided new findings on oriented attachment for understanding and application of the non-classical crystal growth.
