Abstract

In this paper, the growth mechanism, structure, growth processes, growth kinetics, and optical, vibronic and electronic properties of metallocene-filled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are considered. A description of the procedures used to fill the nanotubes is provided. An investigation of doping effects on metallicity-mixed SWCNTs filled with metallocenes by Raman spectroscopy, near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, photoemission spectroscopy, and optical absorption spectroscopy is described. The studies of doping effects on metallicity-sorted SWCNTs filled with metallocenes are discussed. Doping effects in metallicity-mixed and sorted SWCNTs upon the chemical transformation of encapsulated molecules are analyzed. A discussion of the modification of the electronic properties of filled SWCNTs is presented. Applications of metallocene-filled SWCNTs in electrochemistry, thermoelectric power generation, chemical sensors, and magnetic recording are discussed.
