Fig. 3: Growth pathway of 432 helicoid I and IV nanoparticles.

a Schematic of morphological progression of helicoids, depending on time. From the top (initial) to the bottom (final), the sequential morphology changes are described with the synthesis conditions, the injection time of cysteine, and twice amount of seed in the case of 432 helicoid IV. b Growth pathway of helicoid nanoparticles plotted on a stereographic triangle that shows representative surfaces and morphologies. The black and red dashed line show pathway of 432 helicoid I and 432 helicoid IV, respectively.
