Structure, transport and field-emission properties of compound nanotubes: CNx vs. BNCx (x<0.1)
Transport and field-emission properties of as-synthesized CNx and BNCx (x<0.1) multi-walled nanotubes were compared in detail. Individual ropes made of these nanotubes and macrofilms of those were tested. Before ...

N-do** and coalescence of carbon nanotubes: synthesis and electronic properties
Self-assembly pyrolytic routes to large arrays (<2.5 cm2) of aligned CNx nanotubes (15–80 nm OD and <100 μm in length) are presented. The method involves the thermolysis of ferrocene/melamine mixtures (5:95) at 9...

Generation of hollow crystalline tungsten oxide fibres
Hollow fibres of crystalline W18O49, arranged in a pine-tree-like structure, were generated by heating WS2 powder in oxygen. SEM, TEM, X-ray and electron diffraction studies show that the individual fibres are co...

A novel route to aligned nanotubes and nanofibres using laser-patterned catalytic substrates
We describe the generation of aligned carbon nanotube bundles and films by pyrolysis of solid organic precursors (for example 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine, s-triaminotriazine) at 950–1050 °C over laser-pattern...
