Nucleation and subsequent growth processes via homogeneous nucleation in vapor are enigmatic. To investigate evolution of phases, chemical composition and shape of just-nucleated nanoparticles in cooling evaporant, we developed a noble experimental apparatus that enables in-situ spatial scan of nucleating and growing nanoparticles with transmittance FT-IR spectroscopy. Here we experimentally show direct evidence that molybdenum oxide nanoparticle, just-nucleated from evaporated vapor, grown via attachment with crystallographically favored orientation in a gas current generated by the evaporation source. Just-nucleated nanoparticles showed characteristic IR absorbance of needle shaped MoO3 and gradually changed into that of cubic and polyhedral shaped MoO3 in ascending gas current. Each IR feature is consistent with that obtained by ex-situ IR measurements and morphological evolutions of collected nanoparticles. All needle, cubic and polyhedral shaped nanoparticles are attributed to MoO3 with monoclinic crystal structure. The needle shaped nanoparticles are always elongated to [100] direction. Some particles, collected at growing zone, were partially attached at perpendicular planes to (100). We consider that the needle shape is the result of anisotropic growth of just-nucleated nanoparticles in supersaturated vapor. Then, the attachment between needle shaped particles fortuitously collided with the favorable orientation resulted in formation of cubic and polyhedral shaped particles in a gas current. These findings enrich the view on the pathways in nucleation and growth in vapor and give new insights into inter-particle forces that drive oriented attachment growth.
