Hutchison, Nature (London) 395 336 (1998) Multilayer NT were obtained; their cross-sections were up to ~7 nm, while the lengths were several micrometres. The tubular structures remained stable for a few days. It is assumed 136 that the most interesting applications of such structures may be related to their unusual magnetic characteristics. It should be noted that it is compounds which form phases with quasi-2D structures under equilibrium conditions that are usually considered as potential candidates for the synthesis of NT.
