The formation of MoO(3) sheets of nanoscale thickness is described. They are made from several fundamental sheets of orthorhombic a-MoO(3), which can be processed in large quantities via a low cost synthesis route that combines thermal evaporation and mechanical exfoliation. These fundamental sheets...
