Abstract

In this work, we report the production of MoSe2 (molybdenum diselenide) nanotubes formed by irradiating the samples with high doses of electron irradiation. The irradiation was performed on a 2 MeV Van de Graaff accelerator at the following conditions: voltage 1.3 MeV, current 5μA current, dose rate 25 kGy/min, and total dosage 1 MGy. We observed well-defined nanotubes of several nm long and few nm wide, which suppose to be hollow and capped at one end. As the level of irradiation was increased to 1 MGy, elongated onion-like structures were observed.
