Designing materials according to theoretically well-determined predictions has exceptional import-

ance for more precise definition of materials structures, preparing conditions for organizing structures

in a clear and predictable way. According to our research and theoretical models, only designing on

all levels, that is, designing of the structures from the base, gives results that show exceptional accord-

ance between theoretical expectations and experimental observations [1-4]. It is possible to create, in

various systems, completely controlled structures on different levels of hierarchy (starting from the

particles as a whole, down to their subelements or subparticles), in such way to be able to predict

the development of these systems throughout all stages of the synthesis process.
