Preparation and characterization of α-Fe nanowires located inside double wall carbon nanotubes

Abstract:

Capillary effect was used to fill double wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) with iron. The samples are characterized by Mössbauer and Raman spectroscopies, TEM, SAED, and magnetization. The experimental results indicate the presence of α-Fe nanowires inside the DWCNTs. The samples are ferromagnetic at room temperature. There are three striking results due to the confinement effects on the physical behavior of α-Fe: the hyperfine fields increase, the Debye temperature decreases and Raman modes are observed. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
