Abstract
AbstractLow temperature high‐energy electron diffraction study of size‐dependent structures and growth mechanisms of neon and argon nanoclusters inside multiporous ‘amorphous’ carbon as well as theoretical consideration of cluster energetics with emphasis on shape optimization are presented. Multiply twinned particles (MTPs) such as icosahedra and decahedra (with fivefold symmetry) for small clusters are shown to be dominant. Applied analysis was based on the comparison of experimental and calculated intensities with the help of the R‐factor minimization procedure. The new method is applicable not only to structural studies of clusters grown in pores but also for pores characterization and can also be used in the analysis of the wide group of objects which undergo the growth typical of confined geometry.
