Abstract

Read online

The spatial configuration of heterostructured nanocrystals has important roles in their applications, but it is difficult to fine tune. Here the authors report a surface lattice engineering approach that can be used to achieve precise control of geometrical symmetry, spatial composition, and dimension of metal heterostructured nanocrystals.
