Abstract

EEL intensity maps have allowed the distribution of CaCO₃ and SiO₂ in a filled MWCNT (multi-wall carbon nanotube) to be determined. The spectral weight of nitrogen in the CaCO₃ and SiO₂ fillings provides evidence of the inhibition of nitrogen incorporation into the MWCNT in the vicinity of the CaCO₃. Fitting a sum-of-Gaussian function to low loss EEL spectra, required fitting of a discrete resonance of energy ∼4 eV. This resonance is attributed to varying levels of nitrogen incorporation and/or differing interfacial structures in the filling.
