“…Controlling surface morphology such as roughness has attracted particular attention in bulk materials in terms of energy saving and environmentally friendly applications. Surface controlled materials are widely utilized as antireflection surfaces [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], light harvesting films [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], superhydrophobic surfaces [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], etc. In parallel, the surface control of an individual particle composing bulk material on the nanoscale is also an important issue considering the fabrication and engineering for versatile applications, for example, heterogeneous catalysts [ 13 , 14 ], biological cellular uptake [ 15 , 16 ], and so on.…”
