Magnetic Properties of "As-Prepared" and Chemically Modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

In this work we have studied the structural and magnetic properties of "as-prepared" multiwalled carbon nanotubes, synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method, and chemically modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Transmission electron microscopy was used to show multiwalled carbon nanotubes structure. The results of systematic magnetic property measurements on multiwalled carbon nanotubes are presented. The static and dynamic magnetic responses, such as the temperature dependence of the linear AC susceptibility and DC magnetization up to 9 T were studied. We have observed significant changes in magnetic AC susceptibility and magnetization for "as-prepared" and chemically modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes samples.
