摘要：

Single-shell nanotubes of carbon were produced by vapor-phase condensation on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Atomic-resolution images were obtained using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The nanotubes are 1 nm wide and up to 20 nm long. The atomic structure of a zigzag configured tube is identified. A C-60 hemisphere with threefold symmetry could be the nucleation seed for its growth. (c) 1994 American Institute of Physics.
