Their origin appears to be due to electrostatic interactions. This finding is expected to open up a new era in natural nanolattice research.
This is the first report on the critical nature of nanolattice formability of different particle ... more This is the first report on the critical nature of nanolattice formability of different particle sizes ($4-10 nm) of monodispersed nickel nanoparticles. They exhibit strikingly hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nanolattices without extra forces whenever trioctylphosphine (TOP) is one of the surfactant(s). This clearly establishes the unique role of nanolattice formability of TOP. The c/a ratios are interestingly identical to those of atomic lattices. An attempt has also been made to explain them based on the balanced attractive and repulsive forces of the surfactant-generated cation-anion pairs on the surface of the nanoparticles. The present findings therefore will provide a far-reaching vista for the fabrication of varieties of natural nanolattices and their understanding on applications in a new paradigm. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Extra XRD to compare laboratory and synchrotron results, laboratory high resolution small angle X-ray scattering data and transmission electron microscopy images.
