- In this paper, we report a comparative study of pressure-induced polymerization in C60 nanorods and bulk single crystals, treated simultaneously under various pressures and temperatures in the same experiment. For both materials, orthorhombic, tetragonal and rhombohedral phases have been produced under high pressure and high temperature. The structures have been identified and compared between the two sample types by Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. There are differences between the Raman and photoluminescence spectra from the two types of materials for all polymeric phases, but especially for the tetragonal phase. From the comparison between nanorods and bulk samples, we tentatively assign photoluminescence peaks for various polymeric phases.

- C60nanorods in two polymeric phases have been synthesized under differenthigh pressure and high temperature conditions. Orthorhombic and tetragonal phaseshave been identified from Raman spectra. The rod shape canbe kept under quasihydrostatic pressure. The photoluminescence intensity of thepolymeric C60 nanorods has been greatly enhanced compared with thatof pristine C60 nanorods. The main fluorescence band shifted from730 nm in the unpolymeric phase to 748 nm and near infrared780 nm in the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, respectively. The enhancedphotoluminescence with tunable frequency for different polymeric C60 nanorods suggestspotential applications in luminescent nanomaterials.

- C60 nanorods, about 200 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length and with a rectangular cross section, have been synthesized by a simple solution-growth method. Raman spectroscopy and TEM indicate that the C60 nanorods have a fcc crystalline structure similar to that of pristine C60. Nanorods were polymerized at high temperature and high pressure below 2 GPa. Two different polymeric structures, orthorhombic and tetragonal as determined by Raman spectroscopy, have been obtained under different high temperature and high pressure conditions. The high-pressure induced polymeric samples keep the original nanometer scale rod shape.

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

- 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.

- 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.

- C-60 nanosheets with thicknesses in the nanometer range were synthesized by a simple method. Compared to bulk C-60, the lattice of the nanosheets is expanded by about 0.4%. In situ Raman spectroscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction under high pressures have been employed to study the structure of the nanosheets. The studies indicate that the bulk modulus of the C-60 nanosheets is significantly larger than that of bulk C-60. The C-60 cages in nanosheets can persist at pressures over 30 GPa, 3 GPa higher than for bulk C-60. These results suggest that C-60 crystals in even small size will be a potential candidate of superhard materials.

- 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.

- Raman spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with diameters of 0.6–1.3 nm have been studied under high pressure. A “plateau” in the pressure dependence of the G-band frequencies was observed in all experiments, both with and without pressure transmission medium. Near the onset of the G-band plateau, the corresponding radial breathing mode (RBM) lines become very weak. A strong broadening of the full width at half maximum of the RBMs just before the onset of the G-band plateau suggests that a structural transition starts in the SWNTs. Raman spectra from SWNTs released from different pressures also indicate that a significant structural transition occurs during the G-band plateau process. Simulations of the structural changes and the corresponding Raman modes of a nanotube under compression show a behavior similar to the experimental observations. Based on the experimental results and the theoretical simulation, a detailed model is suggested for the structural transition of SWNTs, corresponding to the experimentally obtained Raman results in the high-pressure domain.

- The C-60 @ SWNT ( peapod) samples were prepared by the vapor diffusion method. Polymerization of C60 molecules in single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) under high pressure and simultaneous irradiation of UV laser (325 nm) has been carried out for the first time by using diamond anvil cell. Raman spectra of the peapod samples decompressed from high pressure indicated that C60 molecules form one-dimensional orthorhombic polymer in SWNTs under UV laser irradiation at a high pressure of 21.5 GPa, which is lower than that for the polymerization of samples induced by high pressure only. The polymerization is an irreversible phase transition in the peapod.
