| Abstract
| - The growth kinetics of one-dimensional single-crystalline KNbO3 nanostructures (nanowires and nanofingers,the latter understood as defective nanowires) prepared by hydrothermal processing routes has been theoreticallystudied. A model taking into account the cube-based morphology of the nanostructures, their defects as theKOH proportion in the starting solution increases, and the partial depletion of species in the solution at thekink regions is proposed. Such a model allows the morphological evolution of the nanostructures to besuccessfully reproduced, shedding light on the origin of their highly anisotropic growth.
