Fig. 6.
TEM micrograph of a npAu nanoparticle (left) and its 3D reconstruction (middle) based on STEM tomography. The picture on the right hand-side schematically illustrates the difference between the geometric and the branch tortuosity of a porous structure. (It shall be mentioned that τgeo often is calculated not on the basis of curved pathways (such as the green dotted one) but on the basis of trajectories consisting of straight segments being somewhat shorter than the curved ones.)
