ID carbon

Abstract—The fundamental relations governing the geometry of carbon nanotubes are reviewed, and explicit examples are pre.sented. A framework is given for the symmetry properties of carbon nanotubes for both symmorphic and non-symmorphic tubules which have screw-axis symmetry. The implications of symmetry on the vibrational and electronic structure of ID carbon nanotube systems are considered. The corresponding properties of double-wall nanotubes and arrays of nanotubes are also discussed. 

Of particular importance to carbon nanotube physics are the many possible symmetries or geometries that can be realized on a cylindrical surface in carbon nanotubes without the introduction of strain. For ID systems on a cylindrical surface, translational symmetry with a screw axis could affect the electronic structure and related properties. The exotic electronic properties of ID carbon nanotubes are seen to arise predominately from intralayer interactions, rather than from interlayer interactions between multilayers within a single carbon nanotube or between two different nanotubes. Since the symmetry of a single nanotube is essential for understanding the basic physics of carbon nanotubes, most of this article focuses on the symmetry properties of single layer nanotubes, with a brief discussion also provided for two-layer nanotubes and an ordered array of similar nanotubes. 

Although still preliminary, the study that provides the most detailed test of the theory for the electronic properties of the ID carbon nanotubes, thus far, is the combined STM/STS study by Oik and Heremans[13]. In this STM/STS study, more than nine individual multilayer tubules with diameters ranging from 1.7 to 9.5 nm were examined. The 7-Fplots provide evidence for both metallic and semiconducting tubules[13,14]. Plots of dl/dV indicate maxima in the ID density of states, suggestive of predicted singularities in the ID density of states for carbon nanotubes. This STM/ STS study further shows that the energy gap for the semiconducting tubules is proportional to the inverse tubule diameter l/<7, and is independent of the tubule chirality.

In the Swedish or Dellwick-Fleischer method, the )ke temperature is from time to time raised by means an air blast, but in this case the depth of fuel is latively shallow, so that the carbon burnt remains irmanently in the form of carbon dioxide and since in jrning equal weights of carbon to carbon monoxide id carbon dioxide over three times as much heat is merated in siiu when the carbon is burnt to carbon oxide than when burnt to carbon monoxide, the rate rise of temperature of the coke mass in the generator much more rapid than is the case in the English Stem, and consequently the period occupied by the r blast is very much reduced.

Oil industry has a long history of application of NMR spectroscopy for characterization of crude oils, products and oil fractions. The methodology has been mainly ID proton- or carbon-detected experiments. Quantitative NMR and NMR experiments have been used in estimation of aromatic, olefin, naphtene and paraffin proportions in the samples. ° A more detailed characterization has been obtained using various ID carbon-detected experiments, like GASPE, CSE, QUAT and DEPT to obtain quantitative CH sub-spectra. " The goal of characterization of the oil fractions and quantification of certain structural features has been to find correlation between these features and the product properties (e.g. viscosity index, pour point). Due to environmental concerns oil companies are nowadays more interested in development of lubricant base oils that have low aromatic and olefin contents. Hydrogenation of unsaturated components also improves the stability of the base oils, which is an important property for the end-product. Quantitative analysis of a saturated oil fraction with NMR is a major challenge. When the oil fraction contains only aliphatic compounds, the spectrum width that contains the resonances narrows to ca. 1 ppm in the NMR spectrum and ca. 50 ppm in NMR spectrum. This causes excessive... 

Recently Wolf and coworkers have shown that the fraction of centerlabeling increases from 73% in the absence of additives to 100% in the presence of oxygen but decreases to 6% with 94% neon. This suggests that ID carbon atoms attack exclusively the r-bond at higher energy than C—H insertion, which is possible for both iD and carbon atoms (49). In spectroscopic experiments, iD carbon atoms have been shown to react very rapidly with ethylene (50). 

Two types of chain growth patterns that produce ethyl-substituted carbon chains are presented in Table I, and each of them has two growth constants, f and g. Examples of how two of these schemes work are given in Tables II and III. Type 1 involves one-carbon additions to one end of the growing chain. For la, lb, and Ic, addition is permitted at the first three carbons, and subsequent growth is permitted on the carbon atom added to the third carbon. In Id, carbons are added to the first and second carbons and to a carbon substituted on the third carbon atom. As in SCG, addition to the second carbon is not permitted if one carbon already has been added to the second carbon. Growth rules of Type 1 are variants of the SGG (10,11) and are reduced to the equations of SGG when g = 0.
