title = "KCl crystallization within the space between carbon nanotube walls",
abstract = "The arc discharge method has been used hitherto to encapsulate metal-containing structures within carbon nanotubes , the arrangement of the nanotube walls playing an important role in the process. We show that KCl can be generated in the space between nanotube walls by treating potassium-intercalated uncapped tubes with CCl4. A relationship between the KCl crystal domain and the hexagonal carbon network is thought to give rise to preferential formation of a 100 plane perpendicular to the tube axes.",
