We have proposed in 1992 that nanoparticles of layered compounds will be unstable
against folding and close into fullerene-like structures and nanotubes (IF). Nanotubes and …

Chemical vapour deposition of two-dimensional materials typically involves the conversion
of vapour precursors to solid products in a vapour–solid–solid mode. Here, we report the …

Spin-momentum coupling, which depends strongly on the relativistic effect of heavy
elements in solids, is the basis of many phenomena in spintronics. In this Letter, we …

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnets provide an ideal platform for exploring,
on the fundamental side, new microscopic mechanisms and for develo**, on the …

Size, dimensionality, and shape play important roles in determining the properties of
nanomaterials. So far, most of the nanomaterial researches have been focused on zero …

In analogy to graphite, nanoparticles of inorganic compounds with lamellar two‐dimensional
structure, such as MoS2, are not stable against folding, and can adopt nanotubular and …

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials possessing a unique sheet structure, compared to
correlative bulk materials, exhibit excellent properties, especially in the energy storage and …

Crystalline CuO and Cu2O nanowires with an average diameter of about 10 nm and lengths
of several tens of microns were successfully synthesized, depending on synthesis …

Tin disulfide pellets were laser ablated in an inert gas atmosphere, and closed cage
fullerene-like (IF) nanoparticles were produced. The nanoparticles had various polyhedra …

Nickel chloride is a promising material as cathode candidate for thermal battery, attributed to
its superior electrochemical performance including high operating voltage and high specific …
