Self-assembly of nickel icosahedrons and truncated octahedral nanocrystals on a SrTiO3 (111) support
Nickel nanocrystals have received much attention for their ferromagnetic properties. The crystal properties are strongly dependent on their facets and therefore detailed study of their morphology, facets and orientation is critical for magnetic applications. In this work, equilibrium crystal shapes of self-assembled nickel nanocrystals on the (111) termination of strontium titanate (SrTiO
