Special phase transformation and crystal growth pathways observed in nanoparticles†

<p/> <p>Phase transformation and crystal growth in nanoparticles may happen <it>via </it>mechanisms distinct from those in bulk materials. We combine experimental studies of as-synthesized and hydrothermally coarsened titania (TiO<sub>2</sub>) and zinc sulfide (Zn...
