文摘We simulated the asymmetrical growth of cube-shaped nanoparticles by applying the Monte Carlo method.The influence of the specific mechanisms on the crystal growth of nanoparticles has been phenomenologically described by efficient growth possibilities along different directions（or crystal faces）.The roles of the thermodynamic and kinetic factors have been evaluated in three phenomenological models.The simulation results would benefit the understanding about the cause and manner of the asymmetrical growth of nanoparticles.
