THE STRUCTURE AND TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF INTERCALATED CARBON NANOMATERIALS CONTAINING CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

Intercalation of nanocarbon materials (NCM), in particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), presents a significant interest due to the possibility of purposeful change of band structure and respectively the possibility to obtain NCMs with new unique properties. For example, intercalation of graphite with acceptor intercalates results in one hundred times conductivity increase [1]. Experimental investigation of quite a number of interest properties, which aren't investigated in others materials, is possible for graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). There are charge carriers phonon drag [2], low temperature quantum effects of weak localization and interaction of charge carriers [1], structure phase transitions in 2D-systems [3,4] among such unique properties. The mentioned properties are investigated in intercalated compounds based on high oriented pyrolytic graphite and fine crystalline graphite. However, questions of obtaining and possibility of study of these properties in GICs based on NCMs and CNTs remain open.
