Highly enriched samples of semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes have been prepared by combining polymer-wrapping with size-exclusion chromatography.

The structures of ruthenium cluster anions have been investigated using a combination of trapped ion electron diffraction and density functional theory computations in the size range from eight to twenty atoms.
JPC ARTICLE
Using size exclusion chromatography we separation raw carbon nanotube material into fractions of double-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes. The presented technique is easily scalable and offers an alternative to traditional density gradient ultracentrifugation methods.
