How to create nanoclusters in VESTA

This video is in response to a question about how to create nanoclusters using VESTA crystallographic software. In this video, I'll show you how to create faceted crystal nanoclusters using the crystal shape function in VESTA. You can create crystals with one type of facet or multiple types with ease. Atoms can be placed to fill the new crystal and any excess atoms that go beyond the crystal boundary can be deleted away easily as well. I expect this video will help researchers studying catalysis, synthesis, medicine or other aspects of materials science where crystal nanoclusters play important roles.
