Abstract
Computational modeling of realistic nanostructures requires the description of polyhedral (rather than spherical) structures in order to investigate a range of anisotropic phenomena. Presented here is a simple thermodynamic model for exploring the relative stability of faceted nanocrystals, and the set of equations needed to model common shapes in the isometric crystal system.
