Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulated C 60 in carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, it has been suggested that C60 may be trapped inside a nanotube during this elaborate sequence, but this has not been detected. But it has not yet been confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron irradiation effects in single wall carbon nanotubes
Brian W. Smith,David E. Luzzi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of single wall carbon nanotubes during uniform electron irradiation was investigated and it was shown that an isolated nanotube will damage preferentially on surfaces that lie normal to the electron beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of single-wall carbon nanotubes to chemical processing: an electron microscopy investigation
TL;DR: In this paper, single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) materials subjected to various chemical treatments including regular, published, acidic purification treatments, were investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation mechanism of fullerene peapods and coaxial tubes: a path to large scale synthesis
Brian W. Smith,David E. Luzzi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of chains of C60 molecules inside single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is described, and the resulting Van der Waals interacting chains, called ''bucky-peapods'' are then formed into pairs of nested graphene cylinders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping the one-dimensional electronic States of nanotube peapod structures.

TL;DR: Electrical measurements and calculations show that a periodic array of C60 molecules gives rise to a hybrid electronic band, which derives its character from both the nanotube states and the C60 molecular orbitals.
