摘要：

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) encapsulating Fe nanowires were prepared by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using ferrocene as a precursor. The influence of the addition of Pt to an Fe catalyst, which is required for growing CNTs by CVD, on the magnetic properties of the resulting CNTs was examined from the viewpoint of enhancing coercivity. Our results showed that the addition of a Pt layer on the Fe catalyst deposited on a substrate increased the coercivity of the Fe-filled CNT. This increase is due to changes in the easy magnetization axis of the Fe nanowires in the CNTs. This result indicates that the magnetic properties of the Fe-filled CNTs can be tuned by the controlling the growth conditions, which is suitable for applications in areas such as magnetic recording media and medicine.
