Figure 3. Model of DND size reduction.

Figure 3

Schematic model showing only partial disintegration of a DND core agglutinate after sonication of the as-received DNDs. Prior application of air annealing at 520 °C for 25 min leads to enhanced disruption of the agglutinate as well as size decrease below 2 nm.
