• in the desired size regime [25][26][27]. Corroborating evidence comes from high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) which shows that multiply twinned morphologies such as icosahedra and decahedra occur already at particle sizes around 6 nm in gas phase experiments [28][29]. These

• advantage of applying an IR furnace compared to conventional heating is the extremely high heating rate (up to 10 °C/s) and corresponding time saving. The resulting samples were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM

Advanced analytical tools such as aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and related techniques as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) give important additional information on the atomic
