Abstract

Efficient production of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and carbon nano-clusters has been developed by using the J×B arc jet method, where the Lorentz force of the magnetic field jets out gaseous carbon material to the J×B direction, and efficient production of SWNTs, endohedral metallo-fullerenense and carbon nano-capsules is obtained. To realize efficient mass-production of these clusters, a revolver-injection-type arc jet producer (RIT-AJP) has been successfully developed.
