Journal ArticleDOI
Nanomechanics of carbon tubes: Instabilities beyond linear response.
TL;DR: With properly chosen parameters, the model provides a remarkably accurate ``roadmap'' of nanotube behavior beyond Hooke's law.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A one-step growth strategy for the creation of high-quality vertically stacked as well as in-plane interconnected heterostructures of WS2/MoS2 via control of the growth temperature is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic Structural Defects in Monolayer Molybdenum Disulfide
Wu Zhou,Xiaolong Zou,Sina Najmaei,Zheng Liu,Yumeng Shi,Jing Kong,Jun Lou,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Boris I. Yakobson,Juan Carlos Idrobo +9 more
TL;DR: The atomic scale study of structural defects presented here brings new opportunities to tailor the properties of MoS2 via controlled synthesis and defect engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vapour phase growth and grain boundary structure of molybdenum disulphide atomic layers
Sina Najmaei,Zheng Liu,Wu Zhou,Wu Zhou,Xiaolong Zou,Gang Shi,Sidong Lei,Boris I. Yakobson,Juan Carlos Idrobo,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Jun Lou +10 more
TL;DR: The controlled vapour phase synthesis of molybdenum disulphide atomic layers is reported and a fundamental mechanism for the nucleation, growth, and grain boundary formation in its crystalline monolayers is elucidated.
