Tubular carbon nano-/microstructures synthesized from graphite powders by an in situ template process
Article Abstract:
Commercial graphite powders are used as the carbon sources to synthesize a variety of tubular carbon nanotubes, aligned carbon microtubes with hexagonal cross-sections, aligned tapered carbon tubes and carbon microhorns by a simple in situ template process. The carbon nano-/microstructures have unique properties and applications in integrated circuits, large-diameter particle encapsulation, nano-/microfluidics, drug delivery and nanoelectronics.

Unconventional zigzag indium phosphide single-crystalline and twinned nanowires
Article Abstract:
Unconventional zigzag indium phosphide (InP) single-crystalline and twinned nanowires are produced through thermal evaporation of indium phosphide in the presence of zinc selenide. Studies found that two type of nanowires exist in the products, namely, the periodic-rhombus-decorated single-crystalline InP nanowires and jagged twinned InP nanowires.

Liquid gallium columns sheathed with carbon: Bulk synthesis and manipulation
Article Abstract:
The bulk synthesis of uniform liquid Gallium (Ga) columns, which are encapsulated into carbon nanotubes through high-temperature chemical reaction between Ga and CH(sub 4), are reported. The results reveal that the condensation of a Ga vapor and carbon clusters generates Ga-filled carbon nanotubes.
