Variable range hop** conduction and percolation networks in the pellets formed from pristine and boron-doped carbon nanohorn particles
Resistivity of pelletized carbon nanohorn particles (CNHs) decreased immediately as the pressure for making the pellet increased. This behavior can be fitted by a power scaling relation with quasi-2-dimensiona...

Enhancement of inner tube formation from peapods in de-pressurized inert gas environment
C60 molecules encased in single-wall carbon nanotubes, so-called peapods, can be transformed into small-diameter tubes inside the host tubes after high-temperature heat treatment in vacuum at ∼1200 °C. Here, we r...

Causes of different catalytic activities of metals in formation of single-wall carbon nanotubes
When single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were formed by pulsed Nd:YAG laser ablation or arc discharge, the yield depended on the metal catalyst: NiCo> Ni∼NiFe≫Co∼Fe>Pd∼Pt. It appears that an effective catalys...

Growth of single-wall carbon nanotubes dependent on laser power density and ambient gas pressure during room-temperature CO2 laser vaporization
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were synthesized by the irradiation of 20-ms CO2 laser pulses onto a graphite–Co/Ni target at room temperature. We investigated the effect of laser power density (10–150 kW/cm
