The calculated energies were an input into thermodynamic simulations that allowed us to identify the lowest-energy structure of Sn/Ni particles following the Wulf-Kaishev theorem. For the relevant particle sizes and Sn concentrations of interest, the Sn/Ni particles were dominated by the (111) facets with the Sn and Ni distribution shown in Figure 4.
