Abstract
Carbon based nanomaterials (CBNs) such as multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphene etc have attracted huge interest due to their widespread applications in contemporary nanotechnology. The ion bombardment is an important method which can be used for tuning of the structural and morphological properties of the CBNs. In the present work, we have carried out ion irradiation on MWCNTs (prepared by chemical vapour deposition method) with 5 MeV Si ions at different fluences ranging from 1 × 1014 to 5 × 1016 ions/cm2. The resulting structural and morphological modifications on the pristine MWCNTs have been characterized by using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Results observed after successful characterization are compared with pristine sample results and we observed that the irradiation creates defects in MWCNTs and causes amorphized carbon nanomaterials depending on the fluence and energy deposited by energetic ions inside the MWCNTs.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
