The Structure of Sub-nm Platinum Clusters at Elevated Temperatures (Supplementary Information)

This dataset consists of raw data and denoised scanning transmission electron microscopy videos of sub-nm sized clusters of Pt on a carbon substrate. The data is used in the article "The Structure of Sub-nm Platinum Clusters at Elevated Temperatures" published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019, DOI:10.1002/anie.201911068

Video S1. A typical sub-nm amorphous cluster at room temperature. 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S2. Two typical crystalline sub-nm clusters at 350°C. 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S3. In this high-speed recording at 147 fps, the high beam current required for this fast imaging has suppressed the crystallinity of the cluster, despite the temperature of 350°C. 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S4. The unusually stable 13-atom cluster at the bottom forms an fcc cuboid, and can be seen rotating at three orientations, as shown by the inset model and in Fig. 3a-c. 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S5. This 15-atom cluster initially forms an fcc cube, then transforms into multiple hcp structures. (Recorded at 2 fps, but animated at 5x real time at 10fps). 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S6. The cluster in this movie is a 22-atom truncated rectangular cuboid. 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S7. In the center and bottom, two 6-atom octagons are rotating (shown in Fig. S4) as they add onto their larger neighboring clusters. The 13-atom cluster in the top forms an unusually stable fcc cuboctahedron from frame 219. 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S8. The cluster on the bottom left forms a fleeting icosahedron-like structure. 0.5 nm scale bar.

Video S9. This cluster shows fcc structures, despite being recorded at 200°C, but with a very low beam dose. (Recorded at 2 fps, but animated at 5x real time at 10fps). 0.5 nm scale bar.
