Rotating anisotropic crystalline silicon nanoclusters in graphene.

The atomic structure and dynamics of silicon nanoclusters covalently bonded to graphene are studied using aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. We show that as the cluster size increases to 4-10 atoms, ordered crystalline cubic phases start to emerge. Anisotropic crystals are formed...
