Investigation of 6T@SWNTs by Cs corrected TEM

چکیده
Conjugated rigid rod molecules are extensively studied for their optical and semiconducting properties. Since their size is suitable for the inclusion in SWNTs, they are optimal candidates molecules to obtain hybrid systems emitting in the visible spectral range [1]. Such hybrids systems are called peapods where the nanotube is the “pod” and the inserted molecule the “pea”. Successful encapsulation of molecules into nanotubes has been previously reported on many occasions using fullerenes or fullerenes derivative as the pea molecule [2].

Near-Atomic Resolution Structure Determination in Over-Focus with Volta Phase Plate by Cs-Corrected Cryo-EM.
Volta phase plate (VPP) is a recently developed transmission electron microscope (TEM) apparatus that can significantly enhance the image contrast of biological samples in cryoelectron microscopy, and therefore provide the possibility to solve structures of relatively small macromolecules at high-resolution. In this work, we performed theoretical analysis and found that using phase plate on obj...
متن کاملAmplitude Contrast Imaging: High Resolution Electron Microscopy Using a Spherical and Chromatic Aberration Corrected TEM
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) is a powerful technique to study materials at atomic resolution. For a conventional TEM, the Scherzer defocus is typically used to maximize phase contrast and resolution. For a TEM with a spherical aberration (Cs) image corrector, Jia et al introduced the negative Cs imaging (NCSI) method to balance the contrast and resolution [1]. This pa...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), which are graphitic tubular structures with single-atom-thick sidewalls and varying diameters, are effective containers for a wide variety of molecular species. They are particularly suitable for study by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Chemical reactions between molecules inside nanotubes can be triggered by external stimuli (for example, the TEM...
متن کاملIncreasing the hydrogen storage capacity of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) through facile impregnation by TiO2, ZrO2 and ZnO nanocatalysts
Various nanocomposites of TiO2, ZnO and ZrO2 decorated single wall Carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were fabricated by facile and template free continuous ultrasonication/stirring of virgin metal oxide nanopowders and SWNTs in ethanol under UV-light illumination. The TEM micrographs showed that nanoparticles (NPs) were uniformly dispersed and bonded on the surface of SWNTs. The results of XRD as well a...
متن کاملPresent status and future prospects of spherical aberration corrected TEM/STEM for study of nanomaterials∗.
The present status of Cs-corrected TEM/STEM is described from the viewpoint of the observation of nanomaterials. Characteristic features in TEM and STEM are explained using the experimental data obtained by our group and other research groups. Cs correction up to the 3rd-order aberration of an objective lens has already been established and research interest is focused on correcting the 5th-ord...
