Abstract

Carbon nanotubes were prepared by the dc arc-discharge method under a controlled helium pressure ranging from 10 to 80 kPa and subsequently purified by oxidation in air. The purified carbon nanotubes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The room temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of the purified nanotubes were measured. The variations in the ESR line shape, g-value, linewidth and relative spin density of the purified nanotubes on helium pressure were studied and discussed.
