Synthesis and characterization of quaternary La(Sr)S-TaS misfit-layered nanotubes.

Misfit-layered compounds (MLCs) are formed by the combination of different lattices and exhibit intriguing structural and morphological characteristics. MLC Sr La S-TaS nanotubes with varying Sr composition (10, 20, 40, and 60 Sr atom %, corresponding to = 0.1, 0.

Single Walled BiI Nanotubes Encapsulated within Carbon Nanotubes.

Inorganic nanotubes are morphological counterparts of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Yet, only graphene-like BN layer has been readily organized into single walled nanotubes so far. In this study, we present a simple route to obtain inorganic single walled nanotubes - a novel ultrathin morphology for bismuth iodide (BiI), embedded within CNTs.
