Engineering Physics Annotation << Back Carbon and non-carbon layered nanowhiskers V.A. Gorodtsov, D.S. Lisovenko Carbon and non-carbon hexagonal layered nanowhiskers are considered. The crystallographic anisotropy of whiskers receive primary emphasis. It is demonstrated that the qualitative similarity of several layered materials is true together with quantitative differences. The negative Poisson’s coefficient for MoS2 crystals is sighted. Keywords: Carbon nanotubes, carbon nanowhiskers, non-carbon nanotubes, non-carbon nanowhiskers, molybdenum disulfide.
