Abstract

A new technique for single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) synthesis by simultaneous deposition of C₆₀ and cobalt is reported. A study of Co + C₆₀ mixture films by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed an existence of SWNTs even at room temperature. Thus, carbon nanotubes filled by some atomic row have been found nearby C₆₀ polymeric chains. Within amorphous carbon region the smallest nanotube with a diameter of 0.4nm has also been observed as a continuation of filled SWNT. Analysis of Raman spectra discovered an intense growth of SNWTs in the mixture after annealing at 300°C. Based on TEM and Raman experiments, the conversion of Co-C₆₀ polymeric chains into Co-filled SWNTs is discussed.
