Abstract
(100) facet. Density functional theory calculations confirm the structure-trend and reveal the thermodynamic driving force for the migration of small particles. Knowledge of the presented metal-support interactions is crucial to establish structure-function relationships in a range of applications based on supported nanostructures.
