Classification and Representations of Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials: Terms and Symbols

Journal of Cluster Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A simple scheme, with special terms and symbols useful in categorizing various nanostructures, is introduced. Using “n-D in/on m-D” composite nanomaterials where n,m ≤ 2 as examples, we illustrate how these terms and symbols can be used to represent various hetero nanostructures. This simple nomenclature system also allows a systematization of a wide variety of multi-dimensional nanocomposite heterostructures.
