SHAPE DEPENDENCY<br />

Apparently, the shape factor<br />

approaches 1 with increasing the<br />

quan;ty <strong>of</strong> planes. Therefore, the<br />

values <strong>of</strong> regular polyhedral shapes<br />

range from 1 to 1.49.<br />

For disk-like nanopar;cles, the<br />

value <strong>of</strong> shape factor depends on<br />

the ra;o <strong>of</strong> height to radius.<br />

Varia;on <strong>of</strong> the rela;ve<br />

parameter <strong>of</strong> Pd<br />

nanopar;cles as a func;on <strong>of</strong><br />

shape factor.
