Observation of a superparamagnetic breakdown in gadolinium chloride filled double-walled carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanostraws: nanotubes filled with superparamagnetic nanoparticles.

A two-step magnetically assisted capillary action method is demonstrated as a facile technique to produce hollow carbon nanotubes filled with uniformly dispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs). Template-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown CNTs with average diameter 200-300 nm and length 5-6 microm were effectively used as 'nanostraws' to suck in chemically synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles ...

Synthesis of superparamagnetic iron(III) oxide nanowires in double-walled carbon nanotubes.

The synthesis and characterization of superparamagnetic iron(iii) oxide nanowires confined within double-walled carbon nanotubes by capillary filling with a melted precursor (iron iodide) followed by thermal treatment is reported for the first time.

Processing and electrical characterization of a unidirectional CFRP composite filled with double walled carbon nanotubes

Bundles of identical double-walled carbon nanotubes.

In a sample produced by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD), the structure of the carbon nanotubes (diameter and helicity) which governs their electronic properties, is determined by electron diffraction. We found that most of the smallest bundles are constituted of identical double-walled carbon nanotubes.

Buckling of Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes

This paper is concerned with the buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) under axial load. The DWCNTs are modelled as two cylindrical shells, one shell nested in the other and Winkler springs are introduced to connect them in order to simulate the van der Waals forces between the two nanotubes. By using the Donnell thin shell theory, we derive the governing equations for the bucklin...
