摘要：

The intershell spacing in different regions of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was determined by analysis of high resolution transmission electron (HR-TEM) micrographs. Three general effects can be pointed out, (1) the regular intershell spacing of a CNT is bigger than that in a graphitic carbon because the curvature generates geometrical and electronic deformations which increase repulsion forces between the graphene sheets, (2) when an extra curvature appears, e.g. at the tip of a closed CNT or in a bamboo-like structure, the intershell spacing is expanded due to the extra repulsion caused by the combination of pentagonal and heptagonal rings imbibed in the hexagonal lattice, and (3) when a metal particle interacts with a CNT, the intershell spacing is compressed due to strong metal-CNT interactions.
