Uneven strain distribution induces detwinning in penta-twinned nanoparticles

Posted by in category: nanotechnology

Twinned nanoparticles have regions of clear symmetry that share the same crystal lattice, separated by a clear boundary. Changing the twin structure can affect the properties of the nanoparticles, which makes controlling twinning to create tailored nanomaterials an active area of research.
