Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetic Nanoparticle-Decorated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes find applications in many fields due to their extraordinary properties. However, depending on their synthesis method, they show no or a poor response to the presence of a magnetic field. This limits their usability in magnetic applications. In this study, the maximum induced magnetization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes was increased by deposition of magnetic nanoparticles, which were produced by nanosecond pulsed laser deposition under inert low-pressure conditions using iron (Fe), magnetite (Fe
