摘要
We have used selected-area electron diffraction techniques to investigate the structure of single-wall carbon nanotubes assembled into ropes. The diffraction is sensitive to details of the tube curvature, orientation, radius and chirality. Single-wall carbon nanotubes within the ropes are found to comprise largely tubes of armchair chirality, but not exclusively (10, 10) tubes. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
