Abstract

A new face of nanorod crystallinity: The structure of single‐crystal gold nanorods is reinterpreted on the basis of high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy on standing rods. The studies provided evidence for eight identical higher‐index {250} lateral facets (see picture for TEM image and proposed model).
