initial small spheres
of the nano-particles in the interstice. More initial spheres have been attempted. We
show 30, 60 and 90 spheres arrangement as examples and the corresponding best
radius in Fig. 9.6. The results show that when the number of sphere increases from
60 to 90, the corresponding radius only varies for less than 10 nm. By analysing the
