摘要
Cobalt-filled carbon nanotubes were synthesized at high temperature and high gas pressure. A high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study demonstrates that the product of the synthesis contains cylindrical carbon nanotubes whose cores are filled with cobalt nanoparticles or nanorods. It is shown that cobalt appears inside the nanotubes in three basic modifications: face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice, hexagonal close-packed (hcp) lattice and disordered polytypic structure. The fee lattice is often twinned, with two or more non-parallel twinning planes being observed. The orientations of the fcc and hcp cobalt particles with respect to the nanotubes were investigated. The authors believe that the variety of cobalt modifications inside the nanotubes is due to the process of segregation of the closely packed structures from the melt. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.
