Metallic nanocrystals (NCs) can be synthesized with tailored nonequilibrium shapes to enhance desired properties, e.g., octahedral fcc metal NCs optimize catalytic activity associated with 111 facets. However, maintenance of optimized properties requires stability against thermal reshaping. Thus, we analyze the reshaping of truncated fcc metal octahedra mediated by surface diffusion using a stochastic atomistic-level model with energetic input parameters for Pd. The model describes NC thermodynamics by an effective nearest-neighbor in
