Liquid-like behaviour displayed but phase remains stable in ultrathin hexagonal gold nanoribbons

Scientists have discovered that the ultrathin gold nanoribbons with unique hexagonal (4H type) crystal phase shows 'liquid-like' behaviour under heating, but its hexagonal crystalline structure remains stable. This provides insight into the thermal stability of this new type of metallic nanomaterials and facilitates the development of practical applications in the future.
