(a)–(d) Aberration corrected TEM images of ZrTe₅ nanoribbon. The nanoribbon is about 50 nm thick. (a) HAADF image. Inset, atomic structure model of ZrTe₅ in the (110) plane. (c) HAADF image in the (010) plane. (b), (d) Electron diffraction pattern along the [110] and [010] directions. (e) Optical micrograph of a mica substrate after growth in presence of a silicon substrate. ZrTe₅ ribbons can be found. (f) Optical micrograph of a mica substrate after growth without a silicon substrate. No ZrTe₅ can be found.
