Carbon nanotubes are wires of pure carbon with nanometer diameters and lengths of many microns. A single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) may be thought of as a single atomic layer thick sheet of graphite (called graphene) rolled into a seamless cylinder. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) consist of several concentric nanotube shells. 4, record 1, English, - single%2Dwalled%20carbon%20nanotube

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Deux nouvelles formes du carbone ont été découvertes récemment : les fullerènes en 1985 par une équipe anglo-américaine et les nanotubes en 1991 par une équipe japonaise. Un nanotube est un cylindre graphitique, avec des hexagones, fermé aux deux extrémités par un chapeau de type fullerène, c'est-à-dire contenant des pentagones. Ces cylindres peuvent être longs de plusieurs microns pour un diamètre de l'ordre du nanomètre. Un nanotube constitué d’un seul cylindre graphitique est couramment appelé «nanotube monoparoi». Il existe aussi des nanotubes constitués de plusieurs cylindres graphitiques coaxiaux. Ce sont les «nanotubes multiparois». 8, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20simple%20paroi

nanotube monoparoi; nanotube monofeuillet; nanotube à simple paroi; nanotube à paroi simple : On voit ces variantes utilisées comme synonymes. On sous-entend qu’il s’agit de nanotubes de carbone, probablement parce que ce type de nanotubes est, pour le moment (2013), le plus fréquemment étudié et utilisé. Il est préférable de préciser que le nanotube est à base de carbone, car ce n’est pas toujours le cas. 9, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20simple%20paroi

Pluriel et trait d’union : Les adjectifs tels que «monoparoi», «monofeuillet», «biparoi», «bifeuillet», «multiparoi» et «multifeuillet» s’accordent en nombre avec le nom qu’ils qualifient. On écrirait donc «un nanotube monoparoi» et «des nanotubes monoparois». Ces termes s’écrivent sans trait d’union. Quant aux termes «nanotube simple paroi», «nanotube double paroi» et «nanotube triple paroi», ils s’écrivent sans trait d’union entre «simple», «double» ou «triple» et «paroi». Au pluriel, on écrirait «nanotubes simple paroi», «nanotubes double paroi» et «nanotubes triple paroi» («simple paroi», «double paroi» et «triple paroi» demeurent invariables). 9, record 1, French, - nanotube%20de%20carbone%20simple%20paroi

Dans le premier cas, on observe une très grande variété de structures suivant lesconditions de la source, mais il est difficile de former en abondance des fullerènes endoédriques (atome de lanthane à l’intérieur de la cage) ou des hétérofullerènes (lanthane en substitution). Lorsque des fullerènes sont formés, l’atome de lanthane [symbole chimique La] est à l’extérieur (exofullerènes). Dans le deuxième cas, les spectres de masse sont en faveur de fullerènes endoédriques ou d’hétérofullerènes. Les agrégats sont ensuite déposés sur des surfaces et leur structure, ainsi que leur éventuelle oxydation, sont étudiées par XPS [spectrométrie photoélectronique X]. On observe une bonne corrélation entre la phase gazeuse et la phase supportée. Dans le cas des échantillons de la première série (exofullerènes), le lanthane est oxydé, ce qui est assez normal. En revanche, pour la deuxième série, le lanthane n’est pas oxydé et les spectres XPS sont en faveur d’hétérofullerènes.

A carbon molecule shaped as a geodesic dome or a soccer ball created by the American engineer R. Buckminster Fuller (Bucky). [Library of Science Catalog, number 188, October 1996, p. 8]. 14, record 7, English, - %28C60%2DIh%29%5B5%2C6%5Dfullerene
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Recently a large number of new carbon structures with exciting properties were discovered. The famous bucky-balls consist of 60 carbon atoms bonded together to form a hollow sphere. These C60 structures look like tiny geodesic domes of the type made by the architect Buckminster-Fuller (hence the common name bucky-ball). 15, record 7, English, - %28C60%2DIh%29%5B5%2C6%5Dfullerene

Each specific fullerene is systematically named by adding before the term "fullerene" a descriptor denoting, in parentheses, the number of carbon atoms and the symmetry of the molecule, and, in brackets, the ring sizes in the fullerene, e.g. (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene. The name [60-Ih]fullerene is a semisystematic name. 16, record 7, English, - %28C60%2DIh%29%5B5%2C6%5Dfullerene
