Abstract

In the present work we report on the characterization of small icosahedral particles (−10 nm size) using HREM and image processing. Fourier power spectra of similarly oriented particles present different spectra. The results are interpreted in terms of a continuous oscillation of particle structure in agreement with the quasimelting concept of Marks and Ajayan (10).
