3D characterization of CdSe nanoparticles attached to carbon nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The crystallographic structure of CdSe nanoparticles attached to carbon nanotubes has been elucidated by means of high resolution transmission electron microscopy and high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy tomography. CdSe rod-like nanoparticles, grown in solution together with carbon nanotubes, undergo a morphological transformation and become attached to the carbon surface. Electron tomography reveals that the nanoparticles are hexagonal-based with the (001) planes epitaxially matched to the outer graphene layer.

In the present work, magnetic nanocomposites of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) decorated with magnesium ferrite (MgFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized successfully by citrate-gel method. The shape, structure, size, and properties of the as-synthesized sample were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), transmission electron...
متن کاملAnomalous photoluminescence Stokes shift in CdSe nanoparticle and carbon nanotube hybrids
A very large decrease in the Stokes shift in CdSe nanoparticle (NP) photoluminescence is seen from hybrid materials in which the NPs are attached to single-walled carbon nanotubes after pyridine treatment relative to unbound NPs capped by pyridine. This is observed particularly for very small NPs, for hybrids composed of core-only and core-shell NPs, and for hybrids made with bundles of mixture...
متن کاملVersatile formation of CdSe nanoparticle-single walled carbon nanotube hybrid structures.
Pyridine-protected CdSe nanoparticles decorated SWNTs spontaneously, producing a large loading of CdSe nanoparticles on the SWNTs. The absorption spectrum of this hybrid material reflects those of the components. CdSe nanoparticles of different diameters, core-shell nanoparticles, and nanorods were shown to decorate SWNTs this way, showing the versatility of this technique.

The utilization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as building blocks for nanodevices can only be realized when their electronic properties are preserved in the device configuration. It has been shown that bending and overlapping of CNTs result in a decrease in their conductance. Heterojunctions of quantum dots (QDs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) could become better alternatives for the syn...
