Hello,
I need to know what is the difference between the short range order (SRO), Short range clustering and nano-precipitates. From my understanding, based on the names, SRO are short range ordered arrangment while short range clusters do not follow a predictibale or periodic order. I am also guessing that nano precpitates des not happen in a short range but long ranges.
I tried finding the answer, but I dould not. If you can also suggest some sources to read about the differences that would be great.
Asmaa Elbeltagy SRO -order near a molecule, for example, 4 water molecules in its first hydration sphere.
Any formation of a nanoparticle begins with clustering or the formation of a cluster of 2-5 molecules, atoms.
By nano-deposition is meant, for example, the deposition of a nano-sized layer of one metal onto a macro-sized silicon substrate.

short-range order - this regularity in the arrangement of neighboring atoms and molecules. In my opinion , short-range clusters are local regions of short-range order in the general crystal macrostructure with long-range order.
Thank you all for your answers. That was helpful. I also think according to one of the papers that short range clustering are made of the same type of atoms with no specific order. On the other hand SRO are made of different types of atoms with periodic arrangment as you have mentioned.
