In this paper,we present the experimental observation of the deformed carbon nanotubes,using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The deformations obsorred include both the radial deformation and the axial deformation. A proposed model can explain qualitatively the occurrence of the deformations of the carbon nanotube in a deposit by arc discharge between two proximate electrodes in argon atmosphere.
