Using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with Acetylene and Ammoniac on Pd-specimens Carbon nanotubes (CNT) could be produced successfully. Two different devices are compared and the conditions for best growth conditions are…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are currently considered a successor to silicon in future nanoelectronic devices. To realize this, controlled growth of defect-free nanotubes is required. Until now, the understanding of atomic-scale CNT growth…

High filling of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) with C$_{60}$ and C$_{70}$ fullerenes in solvent is reported at temperatures as low as 69 $^{o}$C. A 2 hour long refluxing in n-hexane of the mixture of the fullerene and SWCNT results in…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted increasing attention because of their unique structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. Surface chemistry modifications are also useful and critical to manipulate the adsorptive properties of…

The thermal behavior of free and alumina-supported iron-carbon nanoparticles is investigated via molecular dynamics simulations, in which the effect of the substrate is treated with a simple Morse potential fitted to ab initio data. We…

Amorphous carbon nanotubes (a-CNT) with up to four walls and sizes ranging from 200 to 3200 atoms have been simulated, starting from initial random configurations and using the Gaussian Approximation Potential [Phys. Rev. B 95, 094203…

We prepared three ferrite nanocatalysts: (i) copper ferrite (CuFe2O4), (ii) ferrite where cobalt was substituted by nickel (NixCo1-xFe2O4, with x= 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6), and (iii) ferrite where nickel was substituted by zinc (ZnyNi1-yFe2O4 with…

In many field electron emission experiments on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the SWCNT stands on one of two well-separated parallel plane plates, with a macroscopic field FM applied between them. For any given location "L" on the…

Physisorption studies and transmission electron microscopy have been used to characterise multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) made by a template-synthesis technique. Microscopic investigations revealed formation of 'branched nanotubes'…

The electronic properties of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have attracted much attention because they could lead to nano-sized electronic devices. Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), MWNTs are produced in large quantities at a low…

We report a process to fabricate carbon nanotubes (CNT) by chemical vapor deposition at predetermined location. This process was enabled by patterning catalyst nanoparticles directly on silicon substrates with nanometer-scale precision…

Graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) share the same atomic structure of hexagonal carbon lattice. Yet, their synthesis differs in many aspects, including the shape and size of the catalyst. Here, we demonstrate a floating-catalyst chemical…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are quasi-1D nanostructures that display both high thermal conductivity and intriguing low-dimensional phonon transport phenomena. In comparison to the advances made in the theoretical calculation of the lattice…

Molecular level components, like carbon multiwalled nanotubes (MWNT), show great potential for future nanoelectronics. At low frequencies, only the outermost carbon layer determines the transport properties of the MWNT. Due to the…
