A simple chemical method is used to synthesize these complex nanotubes from lanthanide-based misfit compounds. Quaternary nanotubular structures formed by partial substitution of the lanthanide atom in nanotubes by other elements are also confirmed. The driving force and mechanism of formation of these nanotubes is investigated by systematic temperature and time-dependent studies. A stress-inducement mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of the nanotubes. The resulting materials may find applications in fields that include thermoelectrics, light emitters, and catalysis and address fundamental physical issues in low dimensions.}, cin = {PGI-5}, ddc = {540}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106}, pnm = {42G - Peter Grünberg-Centre (PG-C) (POF2-42G41)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF2-42G41}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000338023000012}, pubmed = {pmid:24898937}, doi = {10.1002/anie.201404189}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/189437}, }
