Papers by Keyword: Highly Aligned

Abstract: Aligned carbon nanotube arrays (CNTAs) were readily synthesized by a resistance heating method on a substrate of commercially available stainless steel which has more plentiful availability than the wafers of Si and quarts. The catalyst was supported on the substrate by dip coating with a methanol solution of M(C5H5)2(M=Co,Fe), and the substrate was electrically heated at 800oC in methanol. Highly aligned CNTAs were grown from the catalyst prepared from 0.02 M Co(C5H5)2 methanol solution. The alignment was influenced by the concentration and the kind of M(C5H5)2.

Abstract: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized from camphor by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in a range of 750-900
. The catalyst was fed in three ways: (a) a sputtered Fe-film on a quartz substrate (b) vaporized ferrocene in an Ar flow; (c) both of (a) and (b). In the case (c), highly pure, dense and aligned MWCNT arrays formed on the quartz substrate at 850
, whereas nonaligned MWCNTs formed in the cases (a) and (b).
