High-temperature ferromagnetism of helical carbon nanotubes

We report the experimental results on the magnetism of curvature-induced helical carbon nanotubes (HCNTs). It is demonstrated that without any magnetic impurities in the sample, the as-prepared HCNTs show clear ferromagnetism with a Curie point as high as 970 K.
