Electric Field Effect in Atomically Thin Carbon Films
We describe monocrystalline graphitic films, which are a few atoms thick but are nonetheless stable under ambient conditions, metallic, and of remarkably high quality. The films...
Crystalline Ropes of Metallic Carbon Nanotubes
Fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) were produced in yields of more than 70 percent by condensation of a laser-vaporized carbon-nickel-cobalt mixture at 1200°C. X-ray diffra...
Synthesis of Large Arrays of Well-Aligned Carbon Nanotubes on Glass
Free-standing aligned carbon nanotubes have previously been grown above 700°C on mesoporous silica embedded with iron nanoparticles. Here, carbon nanotubes aligned over areas up...
Recent Advances in the Preparation and Utilization of Carbon Nanotubes for Hydrogen Storage
Recent progress in the production, purification, and experimental and theoretical investigations of carbon nanotubes for hydrogen storage are reviewed. From the industrial point...
Load transfer and deformation mechanisms in carbon nanotube-polystyrene composites
Multiwall carbon nanotubes have been dispersed homogeneously throughout polystyrene matrices by a simple solution-evaporation method without destroying the integrity of the nano...
