Formation and structural observation of cesium encapsulated single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Cesium encapsulation inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is for the first time realized by ion irradiation of SWNTs immersed in a magnetized alkali-metal plasma, the configuration of which is confirmed to comprise three varieties by field emission type transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM) and scanning TEM (STEM) observation.
