Polycrystalline niobium-doped molybdenum and tungsten diselenides were synthesized in silica tubes sealed under secondary vacuum. They were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, chemical composition and EDX analyses. The morphology of niobium-doped molybdenum solid solutions was shown to depend strongly on the conditions of synthesis, whereas the structural characterization did not.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
