English: Nanocrystallite formed on the surface of gallium arsenide after electrochemical treatment in a hydrochloric acid solution As a result of electrochemical etching with simultaneous electrochemical deposition in a solution of hydrochloric acid, the interesting island microrelief with flower-like crystallites formed. Crystallites are GaAs own oxides. Gallium oxide and arsenide structures can be widely used as materials for electronic equipment. This image is directly interesting from the point of view of studying the mechanisms of formation of oxide laminas and crystallites. The formation of islands is explained by the layer-plus-island model of growth by the Stransky-Krastanov mechanism, which is characterized by the formation of a dense wetting layer with a set of massive islands on the surface. This Nanoart is a new vision of our already known work "Desert Rose". The work “Love of Life” refers us to the novel of the same name by Jack London. The symbolism of this work is in the revival of Ukraine, because despite everything, Ukrainians demonstrate steadfastness and indomitability. The flower breaks through the scorched, devastated Ukrainian lands. We know that our land is the most fertile and generous, so we have no doubt that very soon there will be no trace of this destruction. We will overcome everything, we will return everything. The synthesis of nanostructures was carried out at the Berdyansk State Pedagogical University, the authors are Yana Suchikova (Yana Sychikova) and Serhii Kovachov. At the time of submission of the image for the competition, the city of Berdyansk is under occupation, and the university is captured by the russian invaders. The image was made within the project “Nanoart. New Symbolism of Science”. The project is implemented with the support of the Sustainability Fund for Ukrainian Artists of the Artists at Risk Connection program of PEN America
