Abstract
High-pressure behavior of novel one-dimensional material - carbon nanotubes (single-walled and multi-walled, pristine and Fe-filled) have been investigated by in situ powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies.Single-walled nanotubes show remarkable mechanical resilience. The presence of non-hydrostatic stresses makes compression behavior much different from that under the hydrostatic stress. Our results also suggest pressure-induced elliptization of the tubes in a bundle.Iron-filled multi-walled nanotubes, unlike pristine, show a structural modification at a pressure of similar to 9 GPa where the outer component $(Fe_{3}C)$ of the encapsulated nanowire undergoes aniso-structural transition. Also the high-pressure behavior of the \alpha-Fe is quite different from the bulk.
