Abstract
0.5 wt.% of each catalyst (Co, Ni) used to synthesize single shell nanotube
s are found to remain in purified samples even after prolonged treatments i
n boiling concentrated HNO3. Chemical analysis, Co-59 NMR experiments and H
RTEM observations suggest an even distribution of small clusters or isolate
d atoms of these transition elements between or within the nanotubes, (C) 2
