Younan Xia coauthored experiments on symmetry breaking during seeded growth of silver nanocrystals. Changing reduction kinetics can favour growth patterns with lower symmetry than the starting seed.
Crystal composition alone therefore does not determine particle shape. The competition between deposition at different sites connects reaction kinetics with nanoscale geometry.[ref]
