Hot wire chemical vapor deposition of isolated carbon single-walled nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hot wire chemical vapor deposition ~HWCVD! has been employed for the continuous generation of carbon single-walled nanotube ~SWNT! materials. Interestingly, transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed only the presence of isolated SWNTs, rather than nanotubes existing in bundles. An analysis of the growth mechanism explaining the production of isolated SWNTs is provided. Also, the Raman radial breathing modes ~RBMs! of the isolated HWCVD-generated nanotubes are compared to the RBMs of small bundles of nanotubes deposited by a conventional CVD technique having a similar diameter distribution. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1518771#

Synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by combining hot-wire and dc plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been grown on 7 nm Ni-coated substrates consisting of crystalline silicon covered with a thin layer (10 nm) of TiN, by combining hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) and direct current plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (dc PECVD), at 620 -C. Acetylene (C2H2) gas is used as the carbon source and ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) are used ei...
