Figure 2

AC-HRTEM images at 80 keV of larger compound crystals formed under ongoing heat treatment and irradiation.

(a) Overview image showing 1–2 nm sized cubes of the Au-X structure and one example of an Au-X mono-layer arrangement. The Fourier transform (inset) provides an accurate estimate of the lattice spacings, using graphene as calibration standard. (b) A thicker example of the new structure growing directly at a gold particle, which may serve as a seed and gold feedstock. A non-linear contrast scale was applied here to show thick and thin structures in the same image. All scale bars are 2 nm.
