Irradiating solids with energetic particles is usually thought to introduce disorder, normally
an undesirable phenomenon. But recent experiments on electron or ion irradiation of …

A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions
has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the …

In recent years, irradiation treatment has emerged as a popular technique for modification of
nanostructures in fabrication of high performance polymer composites. The conventional …

As recent experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate, irradiation of carbon nanotubes
with energetic particles can successfully be used for nano-engineering, eg for creating …

By combining ab initio time-dependent density functional calculations for electrons with
molecular dynamics simulations for ions in real time, we investigate the microscopic …

Carbon nano‐onions (CNOs) represent a still largely unexplored carbon allotrope.
Promising properties of these unique carbon structures are driving the research efforts in this …

Gold nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes
(MWNTs) functionalized with aliphatic bifunctional thiols (1, 4-butanedithiol, 1, 6 …

We attempted the direct solvent-free amination of closed caps of multiwalled carbon
nanotubes (MWNTs) with octadecylamine (ODA), which is essentially similar to the …

We propose a conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet to realize conformal antennas on
polymer substrates. Polymer-ceramic composites (rubber-like structures) have good RF …

Gamma-irradiation of carbon nanotube yarns in air has significantly improved the tensile
strength and modulus of the yarns, presumably because of an increased interaction …
