Sentence examples for because the basal plane from inspiring English sources

Because the basal plane bonds of MoS2 are strong compared to those of HOPG, it can be concluded that the fine destruction of the MoS2 basal plane does not occur, and a larger damage size is produced in MoS2 during the indentation process.

The formation of the hemispherical CNT cap from the catalyst reduces the surface energy of the system because the basal plane of the graphite is much more stable than those dangling bonds [10]; in a similar way, the cap tends to flatten to minimize the system energy, which finally leads to the lift-off of the cap from the catalyst and starts the extrusion of CNTs [11].

However, only edge sites turnover the reaction because the basal planes are catalytically inert.

This is because the basal planes of the grains within the same macrozone are aligned, while the prismatic planes of the grains within the same macrozone may not be aligned.

However, thermodynamics tends to favor growth through the basal plane because the formation of edge sites is highly energetic due to the under-coordinated atomic configuration.

In contrast, HOPG is difficult to process using the DLC nanofilm tip because the bond strength of the basal plane is large.

HOPG undergoes negligible plastic deformation but shows some degree of elastic deformation because its basal plane is very strong, and the period of the basal plane is short (Figure 4b).

Graphite is an unusual material; it has very strong (covalent) bonding within the basal plane but has extremely weak (van der Waals) bonding between basal planes.

This indicates that the basal plane of our GQDs sheet has nearly perfect sp 2 network.

The basal plane of GQDs is nearly perfect, which would not contribute to the magnetism.

In addition, the basal-plane defects such as point vacancies or chemisorbed OH groups on the basal plane of graphene sheet would induce magnetic moments.36,49 Despite that our GQDs have nearly perfect basal planes, one can't exclude the possibility that there may still be some residual defects on the basal plane of GQDs sheet.
