Nanoparticles are a state of matter that has properties different from either molecules or bulk
solids. In the present work, we review the shape and structure of nanometer-sized particles; …

A comprehensive review is given on experimental studies of small particles with fivefold
symmetry accompanied by an in‐depth theoretical description of their characteristics and …

Metal nanostructures, such as nanoparticles and nanowires, have been proposed as
building blocks for several applications in nanofabrication and nanoelectronics. However …

Nanotechnology provides the ability to engineer the properties of materials by controlling
their size and shape. Among the most interesting nanostructures are anisotropic noble metal …

Experimental results from thermally annealed particles of silver and gold in the size range
10–50 nm show the presence of re-entrant surfaces on the decahedral multiply twinned …

Hydrotreating processes in petroleum refining were introduced more than 50 years ago for
the removal of sulfur and nitrogen. The sulfided cobalt-molybdenum catalyst, together with …

A review of several thermodynamical size effects is presented. The analysis reveals the
need of new calculations and measurements of the melting of the very small clusters having …

The energetics of multiply twinned particles (MTPs) are investigated using elasticity theory.
This allows the homogeneous strain models to be critically compared with the disclination …

The results of detailed structural studies of trigonal lamellar particles of both gold and silver
are presented. The particles have been characterized both in sol by means of optical …

Multiple twinning in crystalline solids forming quintuples of twins is known since 1957
(Segall). It ever has attracted the attention not only of crystal growth and crystallography …
