Figure 37. CdSe Orientations.

Figure 37

The nanocrystal in A is in the [010] direction which beautifully illustrates how mass contrast can be used to identify the chemical structure of a nanocrystal at the atomic level. In this orientation the Cd and Se columns are separated. The nanocrystal in B is in the [111] direction.
