Delineating the dominant processes responsible for nanomaterial synthesis in a plasma environment requires measurements of the precursor species contributing to the growth of nanostructures. We performed comprehensive measurements of…
Growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was performed by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) of propane on Si(111) with a pre-treated Ni overlayer acting as a catalyst. Prior to the growth of CNTs, a thin film of Ni was…
The control of the crystalline phases of the nanoparticles grown in a direct-current transferred-arc plasma-assisted reactor is reported. The crystalline phases of the as synthesized nanoparticles are shown to critically depend on the…
This work studies the region of nanoparticle growth in atmospheric pressure carbon arc. Detection of the nanoparticles is realized via the planar laser induced incandescence (PLII) approach. Measurements revealed large clouds of…
Controlled growth, patterning and placement of carbon nanotube (CNT) thin films for electronic applications are demonstrated. The density of CNT films is controlled by optimizing the feed gas composition as well as the concentration of…
Comprehensive non-invasive spectroscopic techniques and electrical measurements of the carbon arc revealed two distinguishable plasma synthesis regions in the radial direction normal to the arc axis. These regions, which are defined as the…

Compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) is applied to laser breakdown in argon and xenon under pressures up to 40atm to obtain 2D images of the plasma dynamics of single events with a spatial resolution of 250x100 pixels and an equivalent…
Nickel carbon nanotube composites with varying amounts of carbon nanotubes are deformed by high pressure torsion at different deformation temperatures to high strains, where no further refinement of the Nickel matrix microstructure is…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs - long tubular carbon nanostructures) belong to the best electron field emitting materials. Based on the experimentally determined electron density in the dual hot filament/DC plasma deposition system the electric…
SiC structures, including nanowires and films, can be effectively grown on Si substrates through carbonization. However, growth parameters other than temperature, which influence the preferential formation of SiC nanowires or films, have…
Metal films and other geometries of nanoscale thickness, when exposed to laser irradiation, melt and evolve as fluids as long as their temperature is sufficiently high. This evolution often leads to pattern formation, which may be…
The electrolysis of CO$_2$ in molten carbonate has been introduced as an alternative mechanism to synthesize carbon nanomaterials inexpensively at high yield. Until recently, CO$_2$ was thought to be unreactive, making its removal a…
