We report an experimental study of carbon nanotube (CNT) growth via catalytic pyrolysis of acetylene. Surface free energy is shown to play a key role in determining the catalytic activity of the liquid droplet on the CNT tip and to be responsible for the constant nanotube diameter. A vapor-liquid-nanotube model is pro…

The string model for the glass transition can quantitatively describe the universal α-relaxation in glassformers. The string relaxation equation (SRE) of the model simplifies the well-known Debye and Rouse—Zimm relaxation equations at high and low enough temperatures, respectively. However, its initial condition, nece…

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with unusual rough surfaces (including pits) have been synthesised by the chemical vapour decomposition process of acetylene using a novel Ca3(PO4)2–CaCO3 support mixture. An Fe–Co bimetallic mixture (50 : 50, w/w) was impregnated (5 wt% loading) onto either Ca3(PO4)2 to give <1%…

Lead glass that shows a high refractive index is the best known and most popular for radiation shielding glass. Due to the toxic of lead compounds on the human organisms as well as the environmental issues, lead free glass was fabricated by using some heavy elements such as barium and bismuth to replace lead. In this…
