Transition volumes from multiply twinned particles to single crystals of supported Ag and Au nanoparticles

Abstract:

Shape changes of Ag and Au nanoparticles supported on single crystal reconstructed SrTiO3(001) and (111) substrates were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. Both metals nucleate as multiply twinned particles (MTPs) and transform into face-centered-cubic single crystals (SCs) beyond a critical volume. On SrTiO3(001)-c(4 × 2) the critical volumes are measured as 141 ± 51 nm3 for Ag and 107 ± 23 nm3 for Au, whereas on SrTiO3(111)–(4 × 4)+(6 × 6) the critical volumes are 53 ± 26 ...
