Production processes for carbon nanotubes often produce mixtures of solid morphologies
that are mechanically entangled or that self‐associate into aggregates. Entangled or …

In the last 20 years, synchrotron-based soft X-ray microscopy has emerged as a powerful
technique for chemical microanalysis. By efficiently measuring near-edge X-ray absorption …

We performed ab initio calculations of the anisotropic dielectric response of small-diameter
single-walled carbon nanotubes in the framework of time-dependent density-functional …

In this paper we report the characterization of linear carbon chains encapsulated in
multiwalled carbon nanotubes by using Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron …

The 1 s core-level excited spectra in LiF, BeO, cubic BN, Ca B 6, Mg B 2, SiC, diamond, and
C 3 N 4 were calculated using an ab initio pseudopotential plane wave method and a …

The irradiation-induced transformation of diamond nanoparticles (DNP) to spherical onions
and onion-like carbon was studied in situ by high-resolution transmission electron …

We report on spatially resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy studies of optical modes
in individual star-shaped gold nanoparticles. We studied different morphologies, ranging …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesis involves various methods. Arc discharge, laser
ablation, and chemical vapor deposition are common methods. CNTs find applications in …

In order to identify a poorly crystallized lamellar C 3 N 4 compound using electron energy-
loss spectroscopy, we first concentrate on model compounds, namely, graphite at the carbon …

The polarization dependence (linear dichroism) of the C 1s X‐ray absorption spectrum of
individual multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is measured using scanning …
