Abstract:Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were subjucted to irradiation of argon ions and electron and consequent annealing in inert ambient. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used to study the structure tranformation and chemical conditions of nanotubes. It is shown that irradiation with argon ions and electrons leads to the formation of defects in the structure of carbon nanotubes and a change in the interlayer distance in the walls of nanotubes. Also the fixation of functi… Show more
