We report a simple method of fabricating graphite nanoribbons by utilizing a self-collapsing mechanism of multi-walled carbon nanotubes during their growth. In the growth process, a nanotube is expelled from a γ-Fe seed nanoparticle, and then collapses spontaneously forming a nanoribbon. Our microscopic analysis of th…
