The reaction can be controlled by means of the growth temperature and the molar ratio of reagents to favor formation of disks or rings. A growth mechanism is proposed on the basis of structural information provided by SEM and TEM. Citing Literature Volume43, Issue39October 4, 2004Pages 5238-5242 RelatedInformation
