Pyrolysis of C-60-thin films yields Ni-filled sharp nanotubes

Highly graphitised needle-like elongated carbon nanostructures containing encapsulated Ni, are produced by heating alternating thin films of C-60 and Ni on a silica plate at 950 degrees C. High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) studies reveal that these tapering structures are full...
