“…Aside from rigorous discussions, it is anticipated that the real system too exhibits the same two types of phase behavior as found here, one of them would be observed as a first-order phase transition within experimental accuracy. The solid structures, the phase boundaries, and the phase behavior reported here are expected to be robust for other analogous systems such as C 60 , liquid metals, and other spherical particles confined in carbon nanotubes [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and colloidal particles in cylindrical pores.…”

It is shown for a model system consisting of spherical particles confined in cylindrical pores that the first ten close-packed phases are in one-to-one correspondence with the first ten ways of folding a triangular lattice, each being characterized by a roll-up vector like the single-walled carbon nanotube. Phase diagrams in pressure-diameter and temperature-diameter planes are obtained by inherent-structure calculation and molecular dynamics simulation. The phase boundaries dividing two adjacent phases are infinitely sharp in the low-temperature limit but are blurred as temperature is increased. Existence of such phase boundaries explains rich, diameter-sensitive phase behavior unique for cylindrically confined systems.

“…Following their discovery 1 , carbon nanotubes have attracted interest not only for their unusual electrical and mechanical properties, but also because their hollow interior can serve as a nanometre-sized capillary 2,3,4,5,6,7 , mould 8,9,10,11 or template 12,13,14 in material fabrication. The ability to encapsulate a material in a nanotube also offers new possibilities for investigating dimensionally confined phase transitions 15 .…”

“…Ajayan et al [248] reported that the molten Pb could fill the carbon nanotubes through strong capillary force, but only~1% of which were filled. In addition, Kiang et al [315] used single-walled carbon nanotubes to produce molecular nanowires by filling Bi. It is reported that the percentage of filled nanotubes was increased to 30%.…”

A variety of nanostructured materials are produced through template-based synthesis methods, including zerodimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional structures. These span different forms such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanoflakes, and nanosheets. Many physical characteristics of these materials such as the shape and size can be finely controlled through template selection and as a result, their properties as well. Reviewed here are several examples of these nanomaterials, with emphasis specifically on the templates and synthesis routes used to produce the final nanostructures. In the first section, the templates have been discussed while in the second section, their corresponding synthesis methods have been briefly reviewed, and lastly in the third section, applications of the materials themselves are highlighted. Some examples of the templates frequently encountered are organic structure directing agents, surfactants, polymers, carbon frameworks, colloidal sol-gels, inorganic frameworks, and nanoporous membranes. Synthesis methods that adopt these templates include emulsion-based routes and template-filling approaches, such as self-assembly, electrodeposition, electroless deposition, vapor deposition, and other methods including layer-by-layer and lithography. Templatebased synthesized nanomaterials are frequently encountered in select fields such as solar energy, thermoelectric materials, catalysis, biomedical applications, and magnetowetting of surfaces.
