Twin Pathways: Discerning the Origins of Multiply Twinned Colloidal Nanoparticles

Jingshan S. Du et al.

Summary: The structure of MTPs is determined by specific crystallographic features, and their formation pathways include growth from multiply twinned seeds or stepwise formation of new twin boundaries on single-crystalline seeds. Recent studies have utilized in situ transmission electron microscopy to provide real-time evidence for both pathways, which will aid in the design of robust MTP syntheses. Further research on the structural evolution and energetics of nanoparticles is needed for a complete understanding of MTP formation pathways.

Shape control of size-selected naked platinum nanocrystals

Yu Xia et al.

Summary: This study reports the controlled production and transformation of platinum nanocrystals from octahedra to tetrahedra in an inert gas environment. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the symmetry-breaking atomic mechanism for this shape transformation, and in-situ heating experiments demonstrated the relative stability of both structures at least up to 700 degrees C. Tetrahedral nanocrystals are out-of-equilibrium structures with a growth mechanism that is still an open problem, but the authors identified a defect-mediated mechanism for tetrahedral growth.
