Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present research deals with fabrication and characterization of new types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which encapsulate various tyepes of the so-called atomic nanowires such as metal nanowires, nano-diamond nanowires, BN-nanotube nanowire and ultra-thin graphene nanoribbon nanowires. All of these newly fabricated CNTs exhibit some some novel electronic and magnetic properties. Such new propeties are primariy due to the interaction exerted between the nanowires and CNTs.
