Nitrogen-doped and pure carbon nanotube (CNT) based composites were fabricated for investigating their dielectric properties in static regime as well electromagnetic response microwave frequency range (Ka-band). Two classes of host matrix—polystyrene phosphate unfired ceramics—have been used fabrication.

Some instances of electron field emitters are characterized by frequency-dependent hysteresis in their current–voltage characteristics. We argue that such can be classified as memristive systems and introduce a general framework to describe response. As specific example our approach, we consider emission from carbon nanotube array. Our experimental results demonstrate low-field hysteresis, which is likely caused an electrostatic alignment some the nanotubes applied field. formulate model...

Nanodiamonds (NDs) produced in a detonation process are strongly aggregated, which hampers fully realising their properties at the nanoscale, particularly, composites. Moreover, during annealing, tightly bonded ND particles transformed into so–called onion–like carbon (OLC), where several onions coated by joint graphitic layers. Here, we demonstrate that NDs and OLC can be disaggregated using polymer–assisted forge–rolling. The isolated diamond nanocrystals with size of ∼5 nm typical for...
