Abstract

In this work, several silver-plated graphite rods have been evaporated using the dc-arc discharge technique in the presence of helium quenching gas. The evaporated materials deposited on the cathode and the chamber walls were characterized. It was found that the inner core of the deposited materials contains no encapsulated silver but unusually long bundles of carbon nanotubes. In addition, the soot removed from the walls presents evidence for encapsulated nanocrystalline silver as well as low-mass fullerene cages.
