Imaging Carbon Nanostructures with SPMs
The unique mechanical and electronic properties of fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene and carbon nanoribbons make them very promising materials for nanotechnological applications. First-principles calculations of forces and currents between a tip and carbon nanostructures show that the rich variety of image patterns found in atomic-scale AFM and STM measurements can be rationalized in terms of the...
متن کاملLaser directed growth of carbon-based nanostructures by plasmon resonant chemical vapor deposition.
We exploit the strong plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles in the catalytic decomposition of CO to grow various forms of carbonaceous materials. Irradiating gold nanoparticles in a CO environment at their plasmon resonant frequency generates high temperatures and strong electric fields required to break the CO bond. By varying the laser power, exposure time, and gas flow rate, we deposit amo...
متن کاملForces and currents in carbon nanostructures: are we imaging atoms?
First-principles calculations show that the rich variety of image patterns found in carbon nanostructures with the atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopes can be rationalized in terms of the chemical reactivity of the tip and the distance range explored in the experiments. For weakly reactive tips, the Pauli repulsion dominates the atomic contrast and force maxima are expected on low el...
متن کاملNonlinear Optical Absorption of Carbon Nanostructures Synthesized by Laser Ablation of Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite in Organic Solvents
In this study, Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite was ablated in various polar and nonpolar solvents by Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (wavelength=1064 nm, frequency=2 kHz, pulse duration=240 ns). Then, the products were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The images showed that different carbon structures such as cauliflower-like structures...
متن کاملSpectroelectrochemistry of carbon nanostructures.
This review is focused on charge-transfer reactions at carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. The spectroelectrochemistry of fullerenes deals with the spin states of fullerenes, the role of mono-anions and the reactivity of higher charged states in C60. The optical (Vis-NIR) spectroelectrochemistry of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) follows changes in the allowed optical transitions among the ...
