The crystal growth process in colloidal nanocrystal systems is usually associated with the Ostwald-ripening mechanism. Here, we report on experimental evidence indicating that another took place a system at room temperature. This based grain rotation among neighboring grains, resulting coherent grain–grain interface, which, by eliminating common boundaries, causes grains to coalesce, thereby forming single larger nanocrystal. phenomenon was observed SnO2 nanocrystals (particle size ranging...
