Plasma Nanotechnologies Synthesis of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes

02 slm. The process leads to the production of particles, which are presented in Fig. 8-56 and look like nanocigars. The core of the nanocigars contains iron in the form of Fc2C. The surrounding layered cells are composed of a graphite-like structure. Graphite planes in the cells are structurally similar to the multi-wall carbon nanotubes.

Highly Organized Carbon Nanostructures Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes 

The production of non-highly structured nanoparticles was described in Section 8.8. In addition to that, plasma is also effective in the production of highly organized nanostrac-tures. The best examples of such plasma-synthesized structures are fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (Eletsky Smirnov, 1995 Dresselhaus, Dresselhaus, Eklund, 1996 Eletsky,
