Iranian Nanotechnology Society International Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 1735-7004 6 3 2010 09 01 Formation of Molybdenum Oxide Nano-whiskers during Heating Compressed Powder 150 153 3963 EN S. M. M. Shafiei Materials and Energy Research Center (MERC), I.R. Iran E. Salahi Materials and Energy Research Center (MERC), I.R. Iran S. A. Tayebi Fard Materials and Energy Research Center (MERC), I.R. Iran Journal Article 2010 07 04 In this study the synthesis of molybdenum oxide nano-whiskers with circular cross-section is performed. In some areas, it was observed that also some whiskers have open tips exhibiting their hollow structures. These whiskers have side dimensions ranging 2-5 μm with an average diameter in the nanometer rang. The structure suggested the vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism (VLS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize microstructure evolution of specimens treated by heating processes. https://www.ijnnonline.net/article_3963_f51238cd02c93b89d8fbee5667d077fc.pdf
