TL;DR: In this article, photoemission spectra of single MoS2 nanotubes deposited on a Si surface were recorded in order to explain their electronic structure, and it was shown that the MoS 2 nanotube is semiconducting with a band gap of about 1eV.

TL;DR: The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of core-level absorption (x-ray absorption spectroscopy, XAS) spectra in the soft x-ray region has been measured for the ferromagnetic Heusler alloy at the Co, Fe, and Cr edges.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review is given on experimental studies of small particles with fivefold symmetry accompanied by an in-depth theoretical description of their characteristics and computer modeling, including the cases of uniform and nonuniform deformations (disclination model), stability and relaxation of elastic stresses in pentagonal particles and needle-like crystals.

TL;DR: Bertrams et al. as discussed by the authors showed that after Pt decoration, the structure of the substrate remains unchanged and the Pt aggregates formed flat epitaxial islands on both substrates, and the nearest neighbor distances within the platinum aggregates have been determined for the supported oxide as a function of particle size.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic field realigns the aggregates of the particles which results in a non-threshold reorientation of the LC nearby, leading to the optically observed director distortions.
