Abstract
By an arc discharge technique we have grown carbon nanotubes with diameters of 0\^5nm using an anode filled with carbon nanotubes.These nanotubes are in the form of the innermost tube of multiwall nanotubes.This indicates that carbon nanotubes with diameters smaller than those of C 60 are physically possible.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
