Spheres, field-fabricated fabrication methods

Field-fabricated spheres are made in one of two methods. Smaller spheres can be made by the expanded cube, soccer ball method, while larger ones are made by the orange peel method. The orange peel method consists of petals and cap plates top and bottom. 

The synthesis approaches for fabrication of hollow spheres of different semiconductor materials through irradiation route in large scale and under mild conditions could be of interest for both applications and fundamental studies. Indeed, it has been found that the combination of ionizing radiation and microemulsion can afford more unique conditions to control the composition, morphology, and size of NPs. Compared with other routes of building hollow spheres, radiation chemical approach is a one-step facile and effective method and has potential to produce various inorganic/polymer nanocomposite hollow spheres with potential applications in the fields of materials science and biotechnology.
