Abstract
The chemical transport reaction, known as a standard method for growth of transition metal dichalcogenides, was found to be a successful technique for the synthesis of MoS 2 and WS 2 inorganic nanotubes. While microtubes usually grow as single tubes, the nanotubes combine to build ropes formed by coaxial or side-by-side growth of primary nanotubes. The nanoropes also grow by self-assembly of the nanotube or by coalescence of single tubes. Association of nanotubes or narrow nanoropes reveals the effect of attractive long-range forces.
