Abstract

Cluster formation can be induced in situ in SWNTs filled with ZrCl4 by electron beam irradiation of SWNT/ZrCl4 composites within a field emission gun transmission electron microscope (FEGTEM); the process represents a possible route to the synthesis of 1D-quantum dot arrays formed by related materials.
