Characterization of Voids in Rutile Nanoparticles by Transmission Electron Microscopy
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTRutile nanoparticles containing voids or cavities have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy. The general morphology of the voids has been determined from images of nanoparticles in different orientations. In general, the longest dimension is along the c axis of rutile. Many of the voids show a prismatic morphology with dipyramid terminations. The prism consists of primarily four {110} faces with rounded or faceted comers between the primary faces. The pyramidal terminations can appear ovoid or faceted. A major facet plane of the pyramids is (101). A model consistent with the morphology of many voids in rutile nanoparticles is proposed.
