Nanoparticle shapes by using Wulff constructions and first-principles calculations

Nanoparticle shapes by using Wulff constructions and first-principles calculations

Background: The majority of complex and advanced materials contain nanoparticles. The properties of these materials depend crucially on the size and shape of these nanoparticles. Wulff construction offers a simple method of predicting the equilibrium shape of nanoparticles given the surface energies...
