The data presented in this article are related to the research entitled of UV-A stable nanotubes. The nanotubes have been prepared from 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine derivative of tyrosine (BTTP). XRD data reveals the size of the nanotubes. As-synthesized nanotubes (BTTPNTs) are characterized by UV-vis optical absorption studies [1] and photo physical degradation kinetics. The resulted da...

Based on an ab initio study, we present a structure model for a broad boron sheet, which is the precursor of boron nanotubes. Furthermore we could show that, in contrast to the armchair types, zigzag boron nanotubes have no surface tension (strain energy). As result, we predict that boron nanotubes will exhibit a chirality dependent stability, something that is unique among all nanotubular mate...

Experimental results of benzene and nitrogen adsorption from gaseous phase and benzene adsorption and kinetics of the process from aqueous solution, measured on a series of eight commercial closed carbon nanotubes, are presented. Additionally we show the results of adsorption on compressed nanotubes. Using simple analytical approach and the analysis of adsorption and kinetics results it is conc...

A straightforward method is presented to produce catalyst particle-filled carbon nanotubes. Based on capillarity and surface tension, a simple strategy was developed to selectively fill carbon nanotubes with Fe, Co, and Ni species using a two-step method consisting of impregnation and selective washing. By chosing the impregnation and washing solution properly, metal particles are produced excl...

Carbon nanotubes have been grown using an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma source at a substrate temperature of 500 ◦C. Methane has been used as the source gas. A network of carbon nanotubes has been observed in scanning electron microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the structure consists of straight, Y-junction and ring-like nanotubes. Further, electron diffracti...

Direct measurements of the diffusion length of excitons in air-suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes are reported. Photoluminescence microscopy is used to identify individual nanotubes and to determine their lengths and chiral indices. Exciton diffusion length is obtained by comparing the dependence of photoluminescence intensity on the nanotube length to numerical solutions of diffusion equ...

Here we present a hybrid approach to functionalize multi-walled carbon nanotubes in aqueous solution, exploring a non-covalent binding strategy. We focus on formation of hybrid complexes consisting of carbon nanotubes decorated by single stranded DNA, non-covalently attached using surfactants as intermediate layers. Unlike single walled carbon nanotubes, revealing easy side wall wrapping of DNA...

We have investigated the electronic structure and carrier mobility of armchair and zigzag single-walled MoS₂ nanotubes using density functional theory combined with Boltzmann transport method with relaxation time approximation. It is shown that armchair nanotubes are indirect bandgap semiconductors, while zigzag nanotubes are direct ones. The band gaps of single-walled MoS₂ nanotubes are along ...

Molecular dynamics simulation is performed on the buckling behavior of single and multi-walled carbon nanotubes under axial compression. Brenner’s ‘second generation’ empirical potential is used to describe the many-body short range interatomic interactions for singlewalled carbon nanotubes, while the Lennard Jones 12-6 model for van der Waals potential is added for multi-walled carbon nanotube...
