Poptube approach for ultrafast carbon nanotube growth.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave irradiation can be used to heat conductive materials and metallocene precursors to initiate ultrafast CNT growth. It takes only 15-30 seconds to grow CNTs at room temperature in air, without the need for any inert gas protection and additional feed stock gases.

متن کاملVectorial Growth of Metallic and Semiconducting Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
A new approach for vectorial growth of single-wall carbon nanotube arrays is presented. The origin of growth is defined by patterning the catalyst nanoparticles, while the direction of growth is defined by a local electric field parallel to the substrate. Statistical analysis of the nanotube angular distribution indicates that field-directed growth can discriminate between metallic and semicond...
