Victor K. La Mer developed, with Robert H. Dinegar, a model linking nucleation and particle growth to the formation of monodisperse sulfur hydrosols. A brief nucleation interval followed by growth provides a mechanism for narrowing the spread of particle sizes.[ref]
Theory, Production and Mechanism of Formation of Monodispersed Hydrosols by Victor K. La Mer and Robert H. Dinegar. 1950, sulfur-hydrosol nucleation/growth model; no claim of universality for nanoparticle syntheses
