Abstract

Problems concerning the choice of synthesis technique and criterion that can be used to estimate the role of random factors in the formation process of nanosystems are discussed. Control of the nanostructured silver iodide phase composition is achieved by thermal modification. As the initial material we use AgI nanopowder obtained by an exchange reaction of aqueous solutions of AgNO3 and KI. The morphology of the surface of the samples has been studied using scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition is determined by X-ray phase analysis. The modification of the initial material has been carried out simultaneously with differential thermal analysis. Particular attention is paid to the entropy of the control, which characterizes the role of random factors by synthesizing nanosystems.
