26. The building blocks of the lepidocrocite model are smaller than those of the trititanate one and, hence, require less rotation/translation when used to build a nanotube wall. In this way, Ti-Ti distances between adjacent octahedra remain close to those in flat layers as seen in the hardly changing 3.1 and 3.7 Å PDF peak of the lepidocrocite model.
