Article: Study data from Anhui Normal University update knowledge of crystallography.

"Novel rough ZnS/slick hopeite heterostructured hemispheres are fabricated through a facile hydrothermal route. By controlling the reaction conditions, pure ZnS microspheres, Zn-3(PO4)(2)center dot 4H(2)O panels and concave heterostructured microspheres also can be obtained," scientists writing in the journal Crystal Growth & Design report.

"According to experimental results, the equilibrium controlled growth mechanism is proposed for the formation of products. The as-synthesized Zn-3(PO4)(2)center dot 4H(2)O panels have one Zn-terminated surface and one PO4 tetrahedral group terminated surface. The ZnS nanostructures form on the Zn-terminated surface, resulting ...
