Transformation of multiwall carbon nanotubes to onions with layers cross-linked by sp3 bonds under high pressure and shear deformation
A pressure-induced phase transition of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) to a new structure at room temperature is studied using a shear diamond anvil cell, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Raman procedures. We observe a cardinal pressure-induced change i...
