Title: LaMer's 1950 model of particle formation: a review and critical analysis of its classical nucleation and fluctuation theory basis, of competing models and mechanisms for phase-changes and particle formation, and then of its application to silver halide, semiconductor, metal, and metal-oxide nanoparticles

Abstract

Are classical nucleation theory and the 1950 LaMer model of particle formation supported for a wide range of particle formations, or do competing models in the form of chemical reaction mechanisms have better experimental support? Read on to find out.
