Evolution of the size distribution of colloidal particles: focussing, breakdown of scaling, and asymptotic distributions — •Martin Rohloff1,2 and Jürgen Vollmer1,2 — 1Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organisation (MPIDS), 37077 Göttingen, Germany — 2Faculty of Physics, University of Göttingen, 37077 Göttingen, Germany
Mechanisms underlying the synthesis of mono-disperse colloids and nanocrystals are under vivid discussion. A common feature of the recipies is the growth of an assembly of particles subjected to a flux of material, provided e.g. by a chemical reaction like the decomposition of precurser.
We present analytical and numerical studies on diffusion dominated growth of particles with a constant overall volumetric growth rate. The resulting particle growth is qualitatively different from Ostwald ripening, and it leads to narrow and non-universal asymptotic size distributions.
