Abstract

The structures of one-dimensional (1D) RbI, AgI, and RbAg4I5 crystals inside single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) channels of 1D crystal@SWCNT nanocomposites formed by the capillary technique have been studied by high-resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy and computer modeling. 1D RbI crystals form a cubic lattice in a limited space, while 1D AgI crystals form a hexagonal lattice, as in their ternary compounds. The 1D RbAg4I5 structure differs from known bulk analogs and can be described by a distorted cubic lattice formed in two different directions.
