Retraction Note: “Electron beam-induced surface modification and nano-engineering of carbon nanotubes: Single-walled and multiwalled” [J. Mater. Res. 21, 3109 (2006)]

Abstract

This JMR article mainly contained essentially identical data, analyses, and conclusions that the authors had submitted and published previously in another journal without notifying JMR or that journal. This is a strict departure from JMR policy: “Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that they represent original research, except for review articles, and that they have not been copyrighted, published, or submitted for publication elsewhere.” The first author was asked to submit a formal letter of retraction, which has been received. The other two coauthors, who were unaware of the original submission, have sent letters of concurrence. This article has been removed from the MRS Web site.
