Wang, D.B. Buchholz, Y. Li, J. Li, C.Y. Lee, H.T. Chiu, R.P.H. Chang] A method for the fabrication of large quantities of high quality silver nanocables encapsulated in carbon nanotubes (Ag@C) using a hydrogen arc is presented. A growth mechanism based on the generation of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons by the hydrogen arc is proposed. The size-dependent electronic structures of the resultant materials are investigated using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The surface plasmon and bulk-excitation character observed by EELS are discussed. As the diameter of Ag@C nanocable decreases, the surface and bulk plasmons of the silver core shift to lower energy and the peaks broaden. Measurements of electrical conductivity exhibits a liner current-voltage character with a conductivity of 0.5×104S/cm for the nanocable structure. Springer-Verlag, 2007 Wang L.S.
