Magnetic fullerenes inside single-wall carbon nanotubes.
C(59)N magnetic fullerenes were formed inside single-wall carbon nanotubes by vacuum annealing functionalized C(59)N molecules encapsulated inside the tubes. A hindered, anisotropic rotation of C(59)N was deduced from the temperature dependence of the electron spin resonance spectra near room temperature. Shortening of the spin-lattice relaxation time T(1) of C(59)N indicates a reversible charg...
متن کاملChirality-dependent vapor-phase epitaxial growth and termination of single-wall carbon nanotubes.
Structurally uniform and chirality-pure single-wall carbon nanotubes are highly desired for both fundamental study and many of their technological applications, such as electronics, optoelectronics, and biomedical imaging. Considerable efforts have been invested in the synthesis of nanotubes with defined chiralities by tuning the growth recipes but the approach has only limited success. Recentl...
متن کاملThin single-wall BN-nanotubes formed inside carbon nanotubes
We report a high yield synthesis of single-wall boron nitride nanotubes (SWBNNTs) inside single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), a nano-templated reaction, using ammonia borane complexes (ABC) as a precursor. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), high angle annular dark field (HAADF)-scanning TEM (STEM), electron energy loss spectra (EELS) and high resolution EELS mapping using aberration-corr...
متن کاملChirality Characterization of Dispersed Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Raman scattering and optical absorption spectroscopy are used for the chirality characterization of HiPco single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersed in aqueous solution with the surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. Radial breathing mode (RBM) Raman peaks for semiconducting and metallic SWNTs are identified by directly comparing the Raman spectra with the Kataura plot. The SWNT diamet...
متن کاملGrowth of single wall carbon nanotubes from C isotope labelled organic solvents inside single wall carbon nanotube hosts
We present the growth of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from organic solvents such as benzene and toluene inside a host SWCNT. The solvents encapsulated in SWCNTs are transformed to an inner tube when subject to a heat treatment under dynamic vacuum at 1270 C. We used isotope labeling of the different carbon sources to prove that the source of the inner tubes is indeed the solvent. Our r...
