a–d Coverage-dependent topographic images of CrCl3 grown on NbSe2 with the total coverage ranging from 0.035 to 0.36 ML. Scale bars are 50 nm. e Plot of the coverage Nwire of the 1D wires and the coverage ratio R1D = Nwire/Ntotal as functions of Ntotal. f Statistical analysis of the widths of the wire arrays at Ntotal = 0.12 ML and 0.36 ML. g Tip-manipulated transformations from the 1D multi-wire arrays (MWs) to 2D nanoribbons (NRs). The technical details are discussed in the “Methods” section. Images were taken at −0.6 V and 10 pA; scale bars are 2 nm.
