Pieces of eight: Single‐crystalline Au nano‐octahedra with well‐defined shape and tunable size can be synthesized by a modified polyol process. The octahedral Au nanocrystals have sharp corners and display optical properties that are sensitive to the crystal sizes and the truncation of the tips.
Immer acht: Einkristalline Au‐Nanooktaeder mit genau definierter Form und einstellbarer Größe konnten mit einem modifizierten Polyolprozess hergestellt werden. Die oktaedrischen Au‐Nanokristalle haben scharfe Ecken und optische Eigenschaften, die empfindlich auf die Kristallgröße und das Abschneiden von Spitzen reagieren.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
