Electron tomography and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the unique three-dimensional (3D) structures of twinned Zn(3)P(2) (tetragonal) and InAs (zinc blende) nanowires synthesized by the vapor transport method. The Zn(3)P(2) nanowires adopt a unique superlattice structure that consists of twinned octahedral slice segments having alternating orientations along the axial [111] direction of a pseudo cubic unit cell. The apexes of the octahedral slice segment are indexed as six equivalent <112> directions at the [111] zone axis. At each 30 degrees turn, the straight and zigzagged morphologies appear repeatedly at the <112> and <011> zone axes, respectively. The 3D structure of the twinned Zn(3)P(2) nanowires is virtually the same as that of the twinned InAs nanowires. In addition, we analyzed the 3D structure of zigzagged CdO (rock salt) nanowires and found that they include hexahedral segments, whose six apexes are matched to the <011> directions, linked along the [111] axial direction. We also analyzed the unique 3D structure of rutile TiO(2) (tetragonal) nanobelts; at each 90 degrees turn, the straight morphology appears repeatedly, while the in-between twisted form appears at the [011] zone axis. We suggest that the TiO(2) nanobelts consist of twinned octahedral slices whose six apexes are indexed by the <011>/<001> directions with the axial [010] direction.
