Abstract

Real-time observations on gold nanorods evolving into spiral or lamellar superlattices are demonstrated. 2D critical nuclei and screw dislocations initiate the crystallization process. Kinetics of the superlattice growth is determined to be similar to that of classical crystal growth, where three basic modes are involved: spiral, layer-by-layer and dendritic.
