title: Monitoring the shape evolution of silver nanoplates: a marker study.
abstract: Out of the frame: A marker study using gold frames was designed to reveal that silver nanoplates undergo a shape transition during their seeded growth from triangular to circular to hexagonal plates before ultimately returning to triangular structures with an orientation 180° relative to that of the original triangular seeds (see picture, the original gold triangular frame is visible at the center of the silver nanoplate).
