Taming The Hollowness: Controlling Formation Of Hollow Metallic Nanostructures Attached To A Ceramic Substrate

This research focuses on synthesis of hollow metallic nanostructures attached to ceramic substrates at relatively low temperatures (compared to their melting temperature). At such temperatures, the mass transfer mechanism that the Kirkendall effect relies on is eliminated - therefore, the resulting structure has better microstructural stability, allowing control of the internal pore's size and shape.
