Effect of surrounding environment on atomic structure and equilibrium shape of growing nanocrystals: gold in/on SiO<sub>2</sub>

Effect of surrounding environment on atomic structure and equilibrium shape of growing nanocrystals: gold in/on SiO<sub>2</sub>

<p>Abstract</p><p>We report on the equilibrium shape and atomic structure of thermally-processed Au nanocrystals (NCs) as determined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The NCs were either deposited on SiO<sub>2</sub>surface or embedded in SiO<...
