15. We also observed nanowires with amorphous surface layers, where no transition metals were found on the surface and, in particular, no twin defects were observed in such nanowires.

23. The standard Gibbs free energy varies with temperature. This value becomes maximum (-570 kJ/mol) at 2300 K and decreases with increasing temperature. The reaction temperature in arc discharge is usually greater than 5000 K, again ensuring a more preferable reaction occurs.
