Resonantly enhanced Raman scattering and high-order Raman spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes
The Raman spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) produced by the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons have been measured in the range of 100–7500 cm – 1. The tangential C–...

We have synthesized specimens of nanometric lead dispersion in a glassy Al–Cu–V matrix by rapid solidification of the corresponding melt. The microstructure has been designed to avoid superconducting percolation due to coupling of the neighboring particles by the proximity effect. Using these specimens, we have determined quantitatively the effect of size of the ultrafine lead particles on the superconducting transition. ©1999 American Institute of Physics.
