\subsection{Kinetic Wulff Plot}
We use the methods described in \cite{Zhang_2006} to construct the kinetic Wulff plot. The NC shape is defined to contain six {100} faces and eight {111} faces. Each variation of the NC shapes will have different relative sizes of the {100} and {111} faces. This allows the shapes to range from octahedron to cubes with intermediates as various truncation of cubo-octahedra. How the growth kinetics of each faces influences the NC shapes is described by
the systems of ODEs in the form
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:model-wulff}
\frac{dx_i}{d \xi} = R_i - x_i \qquad i = 1, \dots, N-1
\end{equation}
where $x_i$ is the dimensionless perpendicular distance of face $i$ from the shape center, $\xi$ is the dimensionless time, $R_i$ is the relative growth rate of face $i$, and $N$ is the number of faces. When the relative growth rates are constant, it has a unique and stable steady state solution of
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:soln-wulff}
x_i = R_i \qquad i = 1, \dots, N-1.
\end{equation}
The steady state solution where $x_i$ is the dimensionless perpendicular distance of face $i$ from the shape center, $R_i$ is the relative growth rate of face $i$, and $N$ is the number of faces. Eqn. \ref{eqn:soln-wulff} is used to construct the kinetic Wulff plot by varying the relative growth rates. The shape calculation procedure can be summarized as following:
\begin{enumerate}
\item From the defined relative growth rates, calculate the perpendicular distance $x_i$ of each face.
\item Extend the plane of each face at the perpendicular distance from the shape center until it coincides with adjacent planes.
