Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Up close and personal with nanocatalysts</bold> The cover picture shows the generation of a false‐color image of GaPd₂. In their Full Paper on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p. 2599 ff., </ext-link> R. Leary et al. describe the atomic structure of GaPd₂ nanocatalysts by using aberration‐corrected STEM (AC‐STEM) and annular dark‐field imaging. AC‐STEM provided direct insight into the distinct structure and chemical ordering of the intermetallic phase GaPd₂ in nanosized particles. It also revealed deviations from the ideal "bulk" structure. The study highlights the importance of considering nanoparticle morphologies and nanocrystalline defects.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36pz0w9j" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
