Controlled growth of one-dimensional clusters of molybdenum atoms using double-walled carbon nanotube templating
(2009)"We report the controlled growth of one-dimensional clusters of molybdenum atoms inside the inner cores of double-walled carbon nanotubes. A combined characterization including high resolution transmission electron microscopy, ... -
Strong and stable photoluminescence from the semiconducting inner tubes within double walled carbon nanotubes
(2009-01)"We examined the optical features of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and the inner tubes within double walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) having the same (n,m) chirality. The brighter and more stable photoluminescence ... -
Diameter-selective separation of double-walled carbon nanotubes
(2008-12)"Here, we report a simple and effective way of separating double-walled carbon nanotubes as a function of their diameter using individually dispersed nanotube solutions with the aid of long and random single-stranded DNA. ... -
Modelling adsorption isotherms of binary mixtures of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen
(2011)"A molecular-based approach for modelling mixtures adsorbed onto solid surfaces using the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory for Potentials of Variable Range (SAFT-VR) for three- and two-dimensional systems is presented ... -
Nonlinear optical absorption and reflection of single wall carbon nanotube thin films by ZZ-scan technique
(2008-02)"Both the nonlinear optical transmission and reflection characteristics of HiPco-based single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films are studied by using the ZZ-scan method with femtosecond laser pulses at a wavelength of ... -
CdSe quantum dot-decorated double walled carbon nanotubes: the effect of chemical moieties
(2008-08)"We report that fluorine atoms on the outer tubes of double walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) are more effective for nucleating and growing CdSe nanoparticles than oxygen-containing functional groups. The CdSe particles with ... -
Adiabatic magnetocaloric effect in Ni50Mn35In15 ribbons
(2016-11)"Heusler-type Ni-Mn-based metamagnetic shape memory alloys (MetaMSMAs) are promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration. To increase heat exchange rate and efficiency of cooling, the material should have a high ... -
Enhanced thermal conductivity of carbon fiber/phenolic resin composites by the introduction of carbon nanotubes
