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...
Preparation of Carbon Nanotubes by Arc-Discharge Evaporation
Extremely thin graphite filaments with a tubular structure were grown in carbon deposits formed on the negative electrode during generation of fullerenes by dc carbon-arc-discha...
Graphite Polyhedral Crystals
Polyhedral nano- and microstructures with shapes of faceted needles, rods, rings, barrels, and double-tipped pyramids, which we call graphite polyhedral crystals (GPCs), have be...
