摘要: Simulated crystallisation has been used to predict that Li2O nanoparticles comprise octahedral morphologies bounded by {111} and truncated {100} with inverse fluorite crystal structure. We observe changing the temperature of (simulated) crystallisation, changes in microstructure can be realised, such a strategy facilitates generation full atomistic models microstructural distributions similar structural diversity observed synthetically.
