Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are synthesized at 450-650degC by a catalytic CVD method using nickel powders reduced from nickel carbonate as catalyst without other supporting materials, and acetylene as carbon source. It is found that the nickel powders present a considerable catalytic efficiency in the growth of the CNFs at the temperature between 500-550degC. TEM observation shows that a large portion...
Poly (styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (SBS) triblock copolymer templates which present in-plane cylinder pattern have been prepared by solvent-induced order-disorder phase transition method. Then silver clusters have been deposited onto the SBS copolymer templates by low energy clusters beam deposition (LECBD) apparatus. The characterization of samples by AFM with tapping-mode has shown that silver...
Determination of the helicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is useful for CNTs in nanoelectronic device applications. Using electron diffraction to measure chiral angle with a high precision is reviewed, and helix-shaped carbon nanostructures are introduced and characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The possible formation mechanism of helix-shaped CNTs is also referred in the paper
Single wall carbon nanotubes are fabricated by a long pulse and high power Nd:YAG laser ablation from a solid composite target consisting of graphite and bimetallic catalyst at room temperature without any carrying gas flow. The results demonstrated that the technique could eliminate several processing parameters currently used for SWNT fabrication via laser ablation process. Most importantly, the...
Fe3O4 magnetofluid was prepared by means of a reduction in situ and coordination transformation method. The infrared spectra showed the existence of complex. Coordination stability constant and coordination number was 1.12times104 and 2.05, respectively. The X-ray diffraction results indicated that all the ferric oxide obtained was Fe3O4. The transmission electron microscope image illustrated the...
