Small crystalline particles are often formed comprising near-polyhedral shapes with round edges. When near-polyhedral shapes are analyzed and discussed, it is convenient if these shapes can be expressed by equations with simple parameters. Superspheres are solids expressing various shapes between those of polyhedra and spheres. The superspherical-shape approximation is used in this study to consider the morphology of cubic crystal structure particles. Various near-polyhedral shapes composed of {100}, {111} and {110} planes are described using a simple equation with three shape-related parameters. It is shown that the superspherical-shape approximation is a useful geometrical tool for evaluating the morphology of small crystalline particles.
