Crystalline Ropes of Metallic Carbon Nanotubes
Andreas Thess,R. S. Lee,Pavel Nikolaev,Hongjie Dai,Pierre Petit,J. Robert,Chunhui Xu,Young Hee Lee,Seong-Gon Kim,Andrew G. Rinzler,Daniel T. Colbert,Gustavo E. Scuseria,David Tománek,John E. Fischer,Richard E. Smalley +14 more
TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy showed that fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) are nearly uniform in diameter and that they self-organize into “ropes,” which consist of 100 to 500 SWNTs in a two-dimensional triangular lattice with a lattice constant of 17 angstroms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas-phase catalytic growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes from carbon monoxide
Pavel Nikolaev,Michael J. Bronikowski,R. Kelley Bradley,Frank Rohmund,Daniel T. Colbert,Kenneth A. Smith,Richard E. Smalley +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been produced in a gas-phase catalytic process, where catalysts for SWNT growth form in situ by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in a heated flow of carbon monoxide at pressures of 1-10 atm and temperatures of 800-1200°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic growth of single-walled manotubes by laser vaporization
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for carbon nanotubes growth was presented for both the present case and the arc in which the metal particle size is limited due to the concurrent carbon condensation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling Nanotubes: Field Emission from an Atomic Wire
Andrew G. Rinzler,Jason H. Hafner,Pavel Nikolaev,Peter Nordlander,Daniel T. Colbert,Richard E. Smalley,Liang Lou,Seong-Gon Kim,David Tománek +8 more
TL;DR: Field emission of electrons from individually mounted carbon nanotubes has been found to be dramatically enhanced when the nanotube tips are opened by laser evaporation or oxidative etching, in a process that resembles unraveling the sleeve of a sweater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale purification of single-wall carbon nanotubes: process, product, and characterization
Andrew G. Rinzler,Jie Liu,Hongjie Dai,Pavel Nikolaev,Chad B. Huffman,Fernando J. Rodríguez-Macías,Peter J. Boul,A.H. Lu,Dieter Heymann,Daniel T. Colbert,R. S. Lee,John E. Fischer,Apparao M. Rao,P. C. Eklund,Richard E. Smalley +14 more
TL;DR: A readily scalable purification process capable of handling single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) material in large batches, which should greatly facilitate investigation of material properties intrinsic to the nanotubes.
