Quasi-1D van der Waals (vdW) crystals with atomic-scale chain motifs offer exciting opportunities for designing ultrathin materials with tailored optical and electronic properties. In collaboration with the Maxx Arguilla research group (UCI), we report the discovery of a covalently bonded [Sb4Te6]ₙ chain—a single-chain polymorph of the 2D vdW solid Sb2Te3—encapsulated inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)….Continue Reading Emergence of a New Quasi-1D Polymorph of a 2D Material within Carbon Nanotubes
