Abstract

Suspended Si₃N₄ nanosheets at least 4 νm in width and ranging from 1.5 to 4 nm in thickness were successfully synthesized for the first time. Several of those nanosheets had scrolled edges due to being ultra-thin. According to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) observations, the Si₃N₄ nanosheets exhibit microscopic corrugations in the range of several tens of nanometres. In addition, the directions of the microscopic corrugations were not random, but instead parallel to specific crystal orientations.
