Figure 3

Change in Ag rod diameter and rod aspect ratio as a function of MnCl2 and MgCl2 concentration. Data for MgCl2 is shown in the open and closed squares while that for MnCl2 is shown in the open and closed circles. Open symbols are the mean rod diameters (error bars are the standard error of the mean), plotted on the left axis, and closed symbols are the aspect ratios, plotted on the right axis.
