Six-fold rotationally symmetric vanadium oxide nanostructures by a morphotropic phase transition

Abstract

In this work, we report the first observation of unique hierarchical six-fold rotational symmetrical vanadium oxide based nanocomposite synthesized by a simple chemical route and highlight the first observation of a morphotropic reconstructive phase transistion from a lamellar V2O5 to that of a single crystalline V6O11 nanostructure.
