Abstract:
Encapsulated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with inner channels filled by different compounds present the new class of composite materials. Such CNTs give opportunity to form 1D nanocrystals as well as quantum nanowires with new physical and chemical properties inside the tubes. The present study is aimed to characterize the possible chemical interaction between CuHal (Hal=I, Cl, Br) and SWCNTs in CuHal@SWCNTs and electronic structure of the latter using high-resolution near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy combined with high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and resonant photoemission spectroscopy. The present study has shown that there is a chemical interaction between the filler and p-electron subsystem of CNTs which is accompanied by changes of the atomic and electronic structure of the filler during the encapsulating it inside CNTs.
