Structural instability of ultrafine particles of metals
Abstract
Dynamic behavior of ultrafine particles of gold around 20 A\r{} in size was examined at the level of the atomic resolution by an electron microscope equipped with a real-time video recording system. In real time, it was observed that the shape of the particles changed continually through an internal transformation from a single crystal to a twinned crystal, and vice versa. The transformations were induced to some extent by the irradiation of the electron beam. They took place abruptly in less than 0.1 sec.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
