Planar and bended misfit structures, such as tubes, scrolls or nanoparticles, with intriguing electronic and magnetic characteristics have been synthesized, while calculations explained their electronic structure and

Although some misfit compounds occur naturally [1][11], the recent developments in the synthesis, exfoliation, and handling of layered, two

• -planar structures In addition to the previously discussed planar misfit structures, bent systems are common as well [5][6][25][26][27][28][29]. Such tubular or cylindrical misfit layer compounds have been mentioned for the first time in relation to the mineral cylindrite [1][30]. Generally, it is assumed

Due to two different lattice vectors ( and ), multiple in-plane orientations of the sublayers are possible, which leads to different rolling vectors and therefore, to a manifold of chiral nanotubes. However, aside from tubular misfit layer compounds, nanoscrolls
