Figure 5
Cross section of the zb-/diamond-structure NWire growing along the [110] axis with a hexagonal cross section and four {111} plus two {001} interfaces for run index i = 6, shown with axial-symmetric morphing which is expansive on top with index j1 = −3, and reductive at the bottom with index j2 = 4. Translucent lines show the outer limit of the cross section and respective facet lengths. Observe the irregular triangular areas at the apexes of the cross section which are a constant offset to the total cross section area, its width and facet lengths. For atom colours, refer to Fig. 4. For a detailed geometrical derivation of characteristic lengths and areas, refer to Appendix A. |
