Abstract

Determination of the structural features is a fundamental subject in nanotube research. A simple method is proposed to evaluate the structure of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) having either the concentric or the scrolled structure. Although transmission electron microscopy and Raman scattering did not indicate a distinct difference in the structural features of the MWNTs, the temperature dependence of the diamagnetic susceptibility showed a clear difference; one was temperature-independent constant diamagnetism and the others indicated temperature-dependent diamagnetic susceptibilities with different magnitudes. The former phenomenon can be explained by applying the nested concentric nature to the MWNTs, and the latter by the scrolled nature. The difference in the magnitude of the temperature dependence is evidence for the mixed nature of the concentric and scrolled structures.
