We present the results of our investigations of electrooptical effects that occur as a result of light scattering by an aqueous
polydisperse system the disperse phase of which consists of nickel hydrosilicate nanotubes with a chrysotile structure. Multilayer
nanotubes were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and had the composition Ni3Si2O5. The dimensions of nanotubes were as follows: the length was 0.1–1 μm or more, the outer diameter was 10–15 nm, and the inner
diameter was 3 nm. We have studied relative changes in the intensities of light transmitted and scattered by the suspension
that were caused by the orientation of nanotubes in an external electric field. Experiments have been performed at different
directions of the linear polarization of the incident and scattered light, different scattering angles, and different degrees
of orientation of nanotubes along the field. These measurements allowed us to determine the magnitude of electrooptical effects,
such as the conservative dichroism, the light scattering, and the influence of the orientation of nanotubes in the field on
the intensity and degree of depolarization of light scattered by them. Curves of free relaxation of electrooptical effects
and their field dependences allowed us to determine the distributions of nanotubes and their aggregates in the colloid over
lengths and polarizability anisotropy values. The dependences of the degree of depolarization of the scattered radiation on
the scattering angle and the relaxation dependences of electrooptical effects allowed us to characterize the aggregation stability
of nanotubes in water. 相似文献

This communication reports on a new method for the collection of nanoparticles using carbon nanotubes (CNT) as collecting
surfaces, by which the problem of agglomeration of nanoparticles can be circumvented. CNT (10–50 nm in diameter, 1–10 μm in
length) were grown by thermal CVD at 923 K in a 7 v/v% C2H2 in N2 mixture on electroless nickel-plated copper transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids and Monel coupons. These samples
were then placed downstream of an arc plasma reactor to collect individual copper nanoparticles (5–30 nm in diameter). It
was observed that the Cu nanoparticles preferentially adhere onto CNT and that the macro-particles (diameter >1 μm), a usual
co-product obtained with metal nanoparticles in the arc plasma synthesis, are not collected. Cu–Ni nanoparticles, a catalyst
for CNT growth, were deposited on CNT to grow multibranched CNT. CNT-embedded thin films were produced by re-melting the deposited
nanoparticles. 相似文献

We report the observations made on the synthesis and characterization of C–N nanotube blocks and Y-junctions in bamboo-like
C–N nanotubes. The C–N nanotube Blocks have been synthesized by pyrolyzing the mixture of silver nitrate acetonitrile solution
and ferrocene benzene solution. The structural/microstructural characterization of the as-synthesized material has been done
using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS)
analysis has been carried out to confirm the presence of nitrogen in nanotubes. These investigations reveal the formation
of blocks of bamboo-like nanotubes having the dimension 300 × 200 × 30 μm and the diameter is 20–50 nm. We also observe the
formation of Y-junctions in bamboo-like nanotubes as we spray the acetonitrile ferrocene and AgNO3 mixture. The length of the synthesized Y-junction nanotube bundles is ~2 μm. Some more complex Ψ-shaped junctions are also
found to be present. The diameters of the Y-junction nanotubes is ~80 nm at the junction and 25–50 nm at the branches. 相似文献

Two types of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures—amorphous silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires, 5–30 nm thick and 0.5–2 μm long,
and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled completely with crystalline SiC nanowires, 10–60 nm thick and 2–20 μm long—were synthesized
by the laser ablation of carbon-silicon targets in the presence of high-pressure Ar gas up to 0.9 MPa. All the CNTs checked
by transmission electron microscopy contained SiC, and no unfilled CNTs were produced. We discuss the growth of the two nanostructures
based on the formation of molten Si–C composite particles and their instabilities leading to the precipitation of Si and C. 相似文献

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled completely with polycrystalline Cu nanowires were synthesized by laser vaporization of Cu and
graphite under high-pressure Ar gas atmosphere. Depending on the Ar gas pressure (0.1–0.9 MPa) and the Cu content (1–40 at.%)
in graphite targets for laser vaporization, various products with different morphologies were observed by scanning and transmission
electron microscopy. The ratios of the Cu-filled CNTs and carbon nanocapsules particularly increased as Ar gas pressure was
increased. The maximum ∼60% fraction of Cu-filled CNTs with outer diameter of 10–50 nm and length of 0.3–3 μm was achieved
at 0.9 MPa from graphite containing 20 at.% Cu. Most of the encapsulated Cu-nanowires were surrounded by single, double, or
triple graphitic layers. Although the yield of the Cu-filled CNTs was also dependent on the Cu content in the graphite targets,
no unfilled CNTs were produced even for low Cu content. The growth of Cu-filled CNTs is explained by the formation of molten
Cu–C composite particles with an unusually C-rich composition in a space confined by high-pressure Ar gas, followed by precipitating
Cu and C from the particles and subjecting them to phase separation. 相似文献

Two kinds of ZnO nanotubes, including taper-like and flat-roofed tubes, have been successfully fabricated using a simple aqueous
solution route by changing the experimental conditions. All the obtained nanotubes have a uniform size of 500 nm in diameter,
10–50 nm in wall thickness, and 2–5 μm in length. The growth mechanism of two kinds of ZnO nanotubes was investigated. Field
emission measurements showed that tapering nanotubes have the good field emission performance with a low turn-on field of
∼ 2.1 V μm-1 and a low threshold field of ∼ 3.8 V μm-1, which suggests the possible applications of the ZnO tubular structures in field emission microelectronic devices.

Uniform Pb(OH)Cl nanotubes were synthesized for the first time through a reverse micelles system. The system was consisting
of C12E9 as a surfactant, n-pentanol as a cosurfactant, hexamethylene as the continuous oil phase and lead acetate or sodium chloride
solution as the dispersed aqueous phase. The obtained Pb(OH)Cl nanotubes have an average outer diameter of 60 nm, inner diameter
of about 40 nm, and an length up to 3 μm as TEM picture showed. And the range of the nanotube diameter is from 50 nm to 70 nm.
XRD result indicated that Pb(OH)Cl crystallized in an orthorhombic phase. Photoluminescent (PL) spectrum showed that the product
emit in near ultraviolet region and visible region at 335 nm and 439 nm respectively. The experimental results show that reaction
temperature have effect on the shape of Pb(OH)Cl nanotubes. A possible formation mechanism was also discussed. 相似文献

Change of α-helical structure of heme protein (Hb) to a β-sheet and random coil conformation because of the interaction of
glycine capped gold nanoparticles (20–60 nm) as observed from attenuation total reflectance, absorption, Fourier transform
infra red, and Circular Dichroism spectroscopy has been reported in this article. Upon interaction, protein takes a cylindrical
shape of length 12 μm and diameter 0.35 μm as revealed from scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
The Selected-Area Electron beam Diffraction pattern shows change of crystalline structure in GNP to amorphous nature with

A new kind of structure nickel hydroxide nanorods/nanotubes and nanorings were prepared using hydrothermal conditions at 180°C.
The structures of the products were characterized using X-ray diffractometer. The morphologies were observed using transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The results show the nanorods/nanotubes were about
40–60 nm in diameter, several micrometer in length. The inner diameters of the nanotubes and nanorings were all around 20 nm.
The formation mechanism of the nanorings was discussed. 相似文献

A standard rotating drum with a modified sampling train (RD), a vortex shaker (VS), and a SSPD (small-scale powder disperser)
were used to investigate the emission characteristics of nano-powders, including nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2, primary diameter: 21 nm), nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO, primary diameter: 30–50 nm), and nano-silicon dioxide (nano-SiO2, primary diameter: 10–30 nm). A TSI SMPS (scanning mobility particle sizer), a TSI APS (aerodynamic particle sizer), and
a MSP MOUDI (micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor) were used to measure the number and mass distributions of generated particles.
Significant differences in specific number and mass concentration or distributions were found among different methods and
nano-powders with the most specific number and mass concentration and the smallest particles being generated by the most energetic
SSPD, followed by VS and RD. Near uni-modal number or mass distributions were observed for the SSPD while bi-modal number
or mass distributions existed for nano-powders except nano-SiO2 which also exhibited bimodal mass distributions. The 30-min average results showed that the mass median aerodynamic diameter
(MMAD) and number median diameter (NMD) of the SSPD ranged 1.1–2.1 μm and 166–261 nm, respectively, for all three nano-powders,
which were smaller than those of the VS (MMAD: 3.3–6.0 μm and NMD: 156–462 nm), and the RD (MMAD: 5.2–11.2 μm and NMD: 198–479 nm).
For nano-particles (electric mobility diameter < 100 nm), specific mass concentrations were nearly negligible for all three
nano-powders and test methods. Specific number concentrations of nano-particles were low for the RD tester but were elevated
when more energetic VS and SSPD testers were used. The quantitative size and concentration data obtained in this study is
useful to elucidate the field emission and personal exposure data in the future provided that particle loss in the generation
system is carefully assessed. 相似文献

High-density attachment and one-dimensional (1D) array of FePt nanoparticles (NPs) along carbon nanotubes (CNTs) surface to
generate FePt/CNT nanocomposites were successfully obtained via a facile CNT-mediated microwave polyol method. The as-prepared
1D FePt/CNTs is about 10–20 nm in diameter and up to μm scale in length. By adjusting the solvents, the ratio of Fe/Pt and
the attached density of FePt NPs on the surface of CNTs could be well controlled. The structures, composition, and magnetic
properties of the FePt/CNTs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and magnetic measurements. The possible growth mechanism has also been proposed. 相似文献

CdS quantum dot (Qd)-sensitized TiO2 nanotube array photoelectrode is synthesised via a two-step method on tin-doped In2O3-coated (ITO) glass substrate. TiO2 nanotube arrays are prepared in the ethylene glycol electrolyte solution by anodizing titanium films which are deposited
on ITO glass substrate by radio frequency sputtering. Then, the CdS Qds are deposited on the nanotubes by successive ionic
layer adsorption and reaction technique. The resulting nanotube arrays are characterized by scanning electron microscopy,
X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. The length of the obtained nanotubes reaches 1.60 μm and their
inner diameter and wall thickness are around 90 and 20 nm, respectively. The XRD results show that the as-prepared TiO2 nanotubes array is amorphous, which are converted to anatase TiO2 after annealed at 450 °C for 2 h. The CdS Qds deposited on the TiO2 nanotubes shift the absorption edge of TiO2 from 388 to 494 nm. The results show that the CdS-sensitized TiO2 nanotubes array film can be used as the photoelectrode for solar cells. 相似文献

Zinc oxide nanorods have been grown by vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) catalytic growth. The optical properties and structures properties
of the grown ZnO nanostructures have been studied by photoluminescence, high resolution X-ray diffraction and scanning electron
microscopy. The results show that the formation of ZnO nanostructures is strongly influenced by the growth conditions and
used substrates. It was found that oriented ZnO nanorods are grown more easily on a substrate with a similar crystalline structure
as ZnO. By optimizing growth conditions, oriented-ZnO nanorods grown on Si(001) substrate with a diameter of around 300 nm
and lengths of 20 to 35 μm have been achieved, and they show excellent optical properties. Laser action has been observed
at room temperature by using optical pumping.

60 and Ni deposited on a silica plate at 950 °C. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies reveal that
these tapered structures are almost completely filled with Ni and are closed at both ends. The diameters of the needles (2–5 μm
in length) range between 10–20 nm at one end and 30–200 nm at the other. A surprisingly high degree of graphitization is observed
in the walls of the nanotubes. These unique structures may prove useful as electrodes with various applications such as precision
probes in biological systems or scanning tunnelling microscope tips.

Measuring particle size-dependent physicochemical structure in airborne
single walled carbon nanotube agglomerates 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1

As-produced single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) material is a complex matrix of carbon nanotubes, bundles of nanotubes (nanoropes),
non-tubular carbon and metal catalyst nanoparticles. The pulmonary toxicity of material released during manufacture and handling
will depend on the partitioning and arrangement of these components within airborne particles. To probe the physicochemical
structure of airborne SWCNT aggregates, a new technique was developed and applied to aerosolized as-produced material. Differential
Mobility Analysis-classified aggregates were analyzed using an Aerosol Particle Mass Monitor, and a structural parameter Γ
(proportional to the square of particle mobility diameter, divided by APM voltage) derived. Using information on the constituent
components of the SWCNT, modal values of Γ were estimated for specific particle compositions and structures, and compared
against measured values. Measured modal values of Γ for 150 nm mobility diameter aggregates suggested they were primarily
composed of non-tubular carbon from one batch of material, and thin nanoropes from a second batch of material – these findings
were confirmed using Transmission Electron Microscopy. Measured modal values of Γ for 31 nm mobility diameter aggregates indicated
that they were comprised predominantly of thin carbon nanoropes with associated nanometer-diameter metal catalyst particles;
there was no indication that either catalyst particles or non-tubular carbon particles were being preferentially released
into the air. These results indicate that the physicochemistry of aerosol particles released while handling as-produced SWCNT
may vary significantly by particle size and production batch, and that evaluations of potential health hazards need to account
for this.

Inside biological membranes, one of the fundamental functions of active proteins such as pumps is to generate some electrochemical
gradient across the membrane and then, to establish a new stationary state. The membrane electric potential generated by activity
modifies the stiffness constants of the membrane. A spontaneous curvature appears if the inner and outer Debye lengths are
different. The corresponding characteristic radius falls in the range from 0.08μm to 50μm. The bending elastic modulus is
always increased. This effect is only noticeable in the limit of large Debye length from 0.5μm to 0.09μm. For a Nernst potential
of 100mV and a Debye length of 0.2μ m, the bending modulus can reach 40kBT.

Indium tin oxide nanowires have been grown by dc sputtering on different substrates without the use of catalysts or oblique
deposition. The nanowire length was of the order of several μm, while their diameter was ∼50–100 nm. Small side branches on
the nanowires were frequently observed. The nanowires were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron
microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The growth mechanism of the nanowires is discussed. 相似文献

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are synthesized by the catalytic decomposition of acetylene using low pressure chemical vapour deposition
method (LPCVD) at 800 °C and at a chamber pressure of 10 Torr over a supported catalyst film of Fe70Pd30. Morphology of these CNTs is studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and
High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). From HRTEM image of these multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs),
it is clear that these MWNTs do not possess a co-axial cylindrical structure, but are composed of imperfect and broken graphite
cylinders of different sizes. The average diameter and length of the nanotubes varies between 20–70 nm and 5–60 μm respectively.
Electrical transport measurements of these MWNTs are studied over a temperature range of 298–4.2 K. The results have been
interpreted in terms of variable-range hopping (VRH) over the entire temperature range of 298–4.2 K. Three-dimensional variable-range
hopping (VRH) is suggested for the temperature range (298–125 K), while two-dimensional VRH is observed for the temperature
range (125–4.2 K). 相似文献

Novel polyphosphazene nanotubes with active hydroxyl groups were fabricated via an in situ template approach under ultrasonic irradiation. SEM and TEM results indicated that the nanotubes were uniform with length of several micrometers, inner diameter of ca. 20 nm and outer diameter of 60-80 nm. FTIR spectra revealed that the content of the hydroxyl groups on the nanotube surface was dependent on the feed ratio of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) to 4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol. The successful esterification of polymer nanotubes with benzoxy chloride demonstrated the high reactivity of the hydroxyl groups. The method employed here might provide a simple and effective way to prepare functional nanotubes used for biological applications. 相似文献

The surface topography and structure of copper layers exposed to multiphase plasma jets of products of electrical explosion
of molybdenum and copper foils are studied using profilometry and scanning electron and light microscopy. Such treatment allows
deposition of either layered coatings or alloyed composite layers. It is found that the surface layer roughness parameter
is R
a
= 3.2−4.0 μm. The thickness of some copper and molybdenum layers of coatings is 15–20 μm. Electroexplosive alloying produces
layers 25 μm thick. Sizes of copper inclusions in the molybdenum matrix near the surface of such layers vary from 30 nm to
1–2 μm. 相似文献
