Nanoparticles strung on nanotubes , like a beaded necklace (see Figure), have been synthesized by a simple low temperature supercritical solution method. That the crystalline spherical Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles on multiwalled carbon nanotubes are a step towards high‐density integrated nanometer‐scale functional devices is demonstrated by the fabrication of Schottky junction diodes from individual “beaded” nanotubes.
