TL;DR
This paper investigates how systemic symmetry is spontaneously broken during the formation of ZnO nanocrystals, offering new insights into crystallization processes and symmetry phenomena at the meso-scale.
Contribution
It introduces the concept of systemic symmetry and demonstrates its spontaneous breaking during ZnO nanocrystal formation, proposing a new unitary formation mechanism.
Findings
Systemic symmetries obey spontaneous symmetry breaking during nanocrystal formation
A new unitary formation mechanism for ZnO nanocrystals is proposed
Provides insights into meso-scale crystallization and symmetry breaking
Abstract
Systemic symmetry is introduced into our work to investigate the symmetries of different ZnO nanocrystals. Result shows that systemic symmetries obey the law of spontaneous symmetry breaking during the formation of ZnO nanocrystals. A unitary formation mechanism of ZnO nanocrystals is proposed accordingly. Our results provide new insight into both crystallization and spontaneous symmetry breaking at meso-scale.
