Abstract

Abstract : A close-packed superstructure consisting of Ti 12 and Ti 6 clusters has shown a similar stacking sequence to that of FCC metals. Abstract : A close-packed superstructure consisting of Ti 12 and Ti 6 in one single crystal is prepared via a solvothermal synthesis. The closest twelve neighboring Ti 6 clusters form a distorted cuboctahedron centered with a Ti 12 cluster. Such a structure imitates the stacking sequence of a face-centered cubic (FCC) metal. By employing the cuboctahedron as a basic unit, the whole single crystal is re-rendered.
