Abstract
Inorganic nested fullerene-like particles of layered compound WS2 were observed by high
resolution transmission electron microscopy. It is shown, for the first time, that these
structures can be nucleated inside the amorphous matrix at room temperature. At this
condition the nucleation process may take 3-4 years.
