Zinc oxide snowflakes

Modelling zinc oxide nanoparticle formation could provide new insights into how snowflakes form as well as aiding nanoscale device research, say Chinese scientists.

Different patterns are fomed depending on the coverage of the surface

Different patterns are fomed depending on the coverage of the surface

Snowflakes are formed in the atmosphere via complicated crystallisation and melting processes. What exactly happens is one of the great mysteries of nature but despite unwavering interest, the formation mechanism remains unknown. In addition to being a curiosity, this knowledge could have important scientific and technological relevance by providing insights into crystal growth dynamics and pattern formation during solidification. This could help in nanoscale device self-assembly.

Hong-Jun Gao and his team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing have found that when synthesising ZnO nanoparticles under appropriate conditions, symmetric patterns resembling snowflakes are formed on the surface. ‘It is a fortuitous discovery to some extent,’ says Gao.
