“…The use and behavior of well-defined nanometer-sized particles of specific sizes and shapes has attracted much attention in the fields of material synthesis, aerosol research on particle generation and growth in the atmosphere and morphology transition (Magnusson, Deppert, Malm, Bovin, & Samuelson, 1999;Kawakami, Seto, Yoshida, & Ozawa, 2002;Nakaso, Shimada, Okuyama, & Deppert, 2002;Koch & Friedlander, 1990;Kobata, Kusakabe, & Morooka, 1991;Xiong, Akhtar, & Pratsinis, 1993;Lehtinen & Zachariah, 2002;Nakaso, Okuyama, Shimada, & Pratsinis, 2003). Since the late 1990s, there has been increasing interest in producing engineered nanometer-diameter aerosol particles as a basis for new and novel nanostructured materials and devices.…”
