Figure 15
Cross section of the core-shell NWire growing along a [111] axis. The cross section of the NWire core has {110} interfaces, is irregular (i^core = 4, k₁^core = −2, k₂^core = 0 and k₃^core = −1) and located off-centre with respect to the symmetry centre of the NWire shell. The NWire shell has {11 $[\overline{2}]$ } interfaces and is regular (i^shell = 12, k₁^shell = k₂^shell = k₃^shell = 0). Arbitrary cross section shapes as per individual morphing can be combined if the core and shell share the same symmetry (crystal orientation) along the growth axis. The circumference of the NWire core is highlighted by a magenta line and the corresponding regular NWire core is shown by a cyan line.
