Au/Pd octopods obtained by seed-mediated, co-reduction synthesis. Left inset: overview of the nanoparticles. Left: thin lamellae of particle deposited on a coated silicon chip, prepared with a focused ion beam (Hitachi NB5000) and imaged with a scanning transmission electron microscope (Hitachi HD-2700). Center: diffraction mapping of the lamellae, showing the particle to be a single crystal; lattice imaging also confirms this observation. Right: energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy maps; note the high Pd concentration at the tips of the particles.
