Abstract
A selective formation between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) has been found, where polyyne-containing carbons are heated and irradiated by an electron beam in a transmission electron microscope. The CNPs are formed outside the polyyne-containing carbons that are partially damaged by water and oxygen, while the CNTs, inside the carbons that are protected. This gives insight on a CNT and CNP formation mechanism, which is discussed in this paper.
