Figure 7
Axial-symmetric morphing of the zb-/diamond-structure NWires growing along the [111] axis with a hexa­gonal cross section and six {11[\overline{2}]} inter­faces. The nominal cross section for i = 5 is shown by white `ghost atoms' at the top inter­face and by the yellow atoms in the lower half of the cross section. Maximum reductive morphing with j1 = 4 was applied to the top inter­face, while morphing to maximum expansion with j2 = −(i −1) = −4 was applied to the bottom inter­face. For atom colours, refer to Fig. 4[link]. For a detailed geometrical derivation of characteristic lengths and areas, refer to Appendix C[link].
