Question

Explain the zero, one and two-dimensional nanoscale system.

Answer 1

Zero-Dimensional Nanostructure: A nanostructure with all three dimensions at the nanoscale is called a zero-dimensional nanostructure.

e.g. Nanoparticles, Nanoshells, etc.

One-Dimensional Nanostructure: A dimensional nanostructure is one with two tiny dimensions.

e.g. Nanowires, Nanorods, etc.

Two-Dimensional Nanostructure: A dimensional nanostructure has one dimension at the nanoscale.

e.g. Thin films, layers and coatings.
