Morphology and crystallographic characterizations of c-Ag2-δTe nanosheets (a–f) and quasi-sc CdTe nanosheet (g–i): (a) SEM morphology of high yield c-Ag2-δTe nanosheets. (b–d) HRTEM images of the alignment of crystal orientation between different nanocrystal domains. Inserted a, b, c, d and so on letters are used to highlight the short-range multiple domains with clear and continuous lattice fringe. (e, f) SAED pattern and HRTEM of multiple domains with continuous lattice fringe of a c-Ag2-δTe nanosheet. (g, h) HRTEM images of the alignment of crystal orientation between different nanocrystal domains. Inserted a, b, c, d and so on letters are used to highlight the long-range multiple domains with clear and continuous lattice fringe. (i) SAED pattern of quasi-sc CdTe nanosheet.
