Abstract

In the present work, the channels of single-walled carbon nanotubes were filled with melts of ZnCl2, CdCl2, and TbCl3 by a capillary method with subsequent slow cooling. The detailed study of electronic structure of filled nanotubes was performed using Raman, optical absorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The obtained data are in mutual agreement and it proves that the filling of carbon nanotube channels with all these salts leads to the charge transfer from nanotube walls to the incorporated compounds, thus acceptor doping of nanotubes takes place. It was found out that encapsulated terbium chloride has the largest influence on the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes.
