Nucleation of quartz under ambient conditions
Nucleation of quartz can take years under ambient conditions, and the harsh conditions needed to achieve faster nucleation on a useful timescale preclude formation of nanocrystalline phases. Here quartz nanoparticles are nucleated from microemulsions; subsequent refinement under mild hydrothermal co...
