video: This image shows growth of a long straight Pt3Fe nanorod in a liquid cell by in situ TEM. A growth solution of Pt(acetylacetonate)2 (20 mg/mL) and Fe(acetylacetonate)2 (20 mg/mL) dissolved in a solvent mixture of pentadecane, oleylamine and oleic acid (6:3:1 in volume ratio) is used. Movie plays 30 times faster than real time.This video relates to a paper that appeared in the May 25, 2012, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by H.-G. Liao at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA, and colleagues was titled, "Real-Time Imaging of Pt3Fe Nanorod Growth in Solution." view more
