| Research Abstract |
It was demonstrated by positron-lifetime spectroscopy that positronium atoms are formed in cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CNTs) but they are not found in multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MNTs). The difference is explained in terms of positron annihilation on zigzag surfaces of CNTs, which are composed of both graphene-sheet and graphite-edge planes, by coincidence Doppler broadening spectroscopy.
