Observation of Coalescence Process of Silver Nanospheres During Shape Transformation to Nanoprisms

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In this report, we observed the growth mechanism and the shape transformation from spherical nanoparticles (diameter ~6 nm) to triangular nanoprisms (bisector length ~100 nm). We used a simple direct chemical reduction method and provided evidences for the growth...
