- We have studied the effect of using rare-earth elements C (typically +4 oxide state) and Eu (typically +2 oxide state) together with nanometer Ni as catalysts to synthesize SWNT in high yield by arc evaporation. A black collar deposit containing mainly SWNT was formed in the presence of Ce/Ni while only nanometer carbon particles were formed using Eu/Ni, as identified by SEM, TEM and Raman spectra. The Raman spectra of our SWNT mats show difference from spectra shown in the literature in a low frequency range, indicating that our mats contain chiral tubes. The temperature dependent resistance of SWNT mats was also measured. A semiconducting behaviour was observed with a negative dR/dT and no resistance minimum from 2 to 350 K. The resistance follows a 2D variable range hopping behaviour.

- SWNTs were synthesized in high yield in the presence of Ce/Ni as catalyst. Raman and SEM results show that a fraction of the tubes are chiral and have small diameters (the smallest one is 0.79 nm), indicating that Ce plays an important role in the formation. Acid treatment is effective in eliminating impurities but changes the morphology and the electric resistance of mats with increasing treatment time. The resistance of as-grown and short time acid-treated mats follow a 2D VRH behaviour while mats treated for a long time follow a 3D model. The results indicate that hopping conduction occurs on bundles or on tubes and that there are intrinsic links between tubes in as-grown mats.

- The study of electrical transport properties of bulk single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) materials attracts a lot of attention. However, the transport results differ from sample to sample[l]. Some results show semiconducting behavior with different laws and whether the behavior is dominated by on-tube or on-bundle effects or by interbundle contacts is still unknown. Therefore, further investigation is still meaningful. The effect of hydrostatic pressure(HP), which is expected to significantly change the interaction between tubes or bundles, gives us a further possibility to understand the characteristic properties. Under HP, Raman spectra and electric resistance show pronounced changes at 1.5GPa[2]. In this study, we systematically studied the electric resistance up to 1.5 GPa, giving a different image of the transport behavior.

High-pressure studies of Nano/sub-micrometer C70 rods
- 2005

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have successfully synthesized C-70 rods in nano/sub-micrometers scale by evaporating solvent method. The diameter of the as grown C-70 rods is similar to 500 nm, and the length is similar to 10 mu m. The EDXD pattern and Raman spectroscopy for as -grown sample indicate that the as grown C-70 rod is in hcp structure. The pressure-induced structural phase transition has been studied by using DAC combined with EDXD and Raman spectroscopy methods under quasi-hydrostatic pressure up to 26.1GPa. It is found that hcp structure transforms into amorphous phase for C-70 rods in the pressure range from 23.3 to 26.1GPa, which is higher than the transformation pressure for bulk C-70 crystals. The phase transition is irreversible and it is induced by the collapse of C-70 cage.

Highly Enhanced Luminescence from Single-Crystalline C60·1m-xylene Nanorods

- Single-crystalline C60â1m-xylene nanorods with a hexagonal structure were successfully synthesizedby evaporating a C60 solution in m-xylene at room temperature. The ratio of the length to the diameterof the nanorods can be controlled in the range of 10 to over 1000 for different applications. Thephotoluminescence (PL) intensity of the nanorods is about 2 orders of magnitude higher than that forpristine C60 crystals in air. Both UV and Raman results indicate that there is no charge transfer betweenC60 and m-xylene. It was found that the interaction between C60 and m-xylene molecules is of the vander Waals type. This interaction reduces the icosahedral symmetry of C60 molecule and induces strongPL from the solvate nanorods.

- Thin, rectangular C60 nanorods in face-centered cubic structure are synthesized by using m-xylene as a shape controller. These unusual nanorods can easily grow on various substrates. The smallest nanorods have widths smaller than 30 nm. The nanorods are highly crystalline in single phase. A significant expansion of the lattice constant is also found in the C60 nanorods when their widths decrease below about 80 nm.

- Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on silver films deposited on various substrates, including sapphire, quartz and glass, has been studied systematically. The characteristic features of G-band and D-band have been analyzed and compared with arc discharged and laser ablation samples. D-band is much more sensitive than G-band. The position and the intensity of the G-band in SERS spectra depend on substrates. The peak shift and absolute intensity of G-band on sapphire is obviously larger than that on glass. The contribution of high frequency vibrations to the D-band is also deendent on substrates. Compared to the SWNTs samples with a high semiconducting tube concentration, the sample with high metallic tube concentration has a stronger interaction with silver films.
