Abstract

The structure, phase composition, and magnetic properties of carbon nanotubes filled with iron nanoparticles and obtained by thermolysis of a mixture of ferrocene and C60 fullerene or ferrocene and orthoxylene at a temperature of 800°C are investigated. Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Mössbauer spectroscopy data lead to the conclusion that carbon nanotubes are multilayer systems partially filled with iron nanoparticles and/or nanorods. Metallic inclusions in nanotube channels form α-Fe, γ-Fe, and Fe3C phases. The concentration of each phase in the samples is determined. It is shown that 10–20-nm iron clusters in nanotubes exhibit magnetic properties typical of bulk phases of iron. High elasticity of carbon nanotube walls facilitates stabilization of the high-temperature γ-Fe phase; the relative concentration of this phase in a sample can be increased by lowering the concentration of ferrocene in the initial reaction mixture.
