Synthesis of a Novel Structure Carbon Nanocoils and their Application in Photo Diode Devices

Abstract:

In this paper, the novel structure of carbon nanocoils were synthesized successfully by catalytic thermal decomposition of acetylene in CVD reactor under inert atmospheric pressure. Fe as a catalyst coated alumina beads used as substrate , both were placed inside a cylindrical shape stainless steel mesh SSC and located at the mid of CVD reactor. Preliminary study of application of prepared carbon nanocoil in synthesis of photodiode showed that the photodiode has a good rectification and the forward current obeys to tunneling-recombination model.
