Examples of regular cross sections of zb-NWires as described analytically in König & Smith (2019, 2021). (a) Square cross section with a [001] growth vector and {001} interfaces, (b) rectangular cross section with a [110] growth vector and two {111} plus two {001} interfaces, (c) hexagonal cross section with a [110] growth vector and four {110} plus two {111} interfaces, (d) hexagonal cross section with a [11] growth vector and two {111} plus four {11} interfaces, (e) hexagonal cross section with a [111] growth vector and six {110} interfaces, and (f) hexagonal cross section with a [111] growth vector and six {11} interfaces. Colour code of the interface atoms: red has one interface bond each, blue has two interface bonds each and green has three interface bonds each. |
