Abstract

Nano-size carbon particles such as fullerenes, carbon onions and nanodiamond represent the 0-D analoges of three-dimensional sp2 -bonded graphite and sp3 -bonded diamond. Recently it has been found that upon heating 0-D nanodiamonds transform into carbon onions 1′2. Such finding promt questions: whether similar changes of structure and hybridization observed in 0-D nanodiamond are to be expected in 1-D. Will diamond nanowires transform into single-walled nanotubes or multi-walled nanotubes?
