Spontaneous growth of singular morphology of a comet-like fine particle
Abstract
A singular morphology was found in smoke by the simultaneous evaporation of SiO and metals (Cr and Fe). The growth has been discussed on the basis of the VLS mechanism. The alloy particles of CrSi 2 and CrFe 2 with Si tail which were covered with an SiO 2 layer have also been found.
