Abstract

Single crystals of ZnB2O4 have been grown from a supercooled molten ZnO-B2O3 system on multiwall carbon nanotubes. Transmission electron microscopy investigations indicated that the originally curly carbon nanotubes were well straightened after the single-crystal coating. The coating and straightening mechanism are discussed.
