| abstract |
The invention pertains to a method of crystallization of particles wherein crystal seeds are nucleated within a cage, characterized in that crystalline particles with a size larger than the cavity of the cage are formed, after a) transferring the crystal seeds into the cage, providing the cage on a support, followed by opening of the cage, or b) providing the cage on a support, opening the cage, followed by transferring the crystal seeds in the opened cage, or c) providing the cage on a support, transferring the crystal seeds to the cage, followed by opening of the cage. The crystalline particles may be transferred to a substrate. The support or substrate with the crystalline particles on it may be applied in data storage devices. |
