Abstract

The low temperature kinetics of sorption of ³He, ⁴He, H₂, and D₂ gases by bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and the subsequent desorption of these gases from the SWNT bundles has been investigated. The kinetics of gas desorption was investigated on a powder of SWNT bundles compacted into plates under P=1.1 GPa.
