چکیده

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition over patterned catalyst arrays leads to nanotubes grown from specific sites on surfaces. The growth directions of the nanotubes can be controlled by van der Waals self-assembly forces and applied electric fields. The patterned growth approach is feasible with discrete catalytic nanoparticles and scalable on large wafers for massive arrays of novel nanowires. Controlled synthesis of nanotubes opens up exciting opportunities in nanoscience and nanotechnology, including electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical properties and devices, chemical functionalization, surface chemistry and photochemistry, molecular sensors, and interfacing with soft biological systems.

Growing Carbon Nanotubes within Boron Nitride Nanotubes

The controlled synthesis and growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been a long standing challenge in the fabrication of carbon based materials for electronic applications. Due to the sensitivity to small changes in their structure, the successful integration of CNTs on electronic devices is conditioned to the preservation of the graphitic network of single and multiwalled nanotubes from externa...
