We have developed a thermodynamic model of the catalytic growth of multiwall carbon nanotubes from hydrocarbon precursors at elevated temperature. Using this model we have computed the heat distribution, and carbon concentration in the…

The evolution of a continuous Fe(NO3)3 catalyst film was observed by in-situ annealing in a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Such catalysts are routinely used in the catalytic growth of carbon nanotubes. The experiments reveal that…

This investigation deals with the effect of growth temperature on the growth behavior of Fe filled multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Carbon nanotube (CNT) synthesis was carried out in a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor…

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…

In this study, the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was carried out by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using propane as the carbon source and Si as the catalyst support. The effect of CVD process variables such as…

Fe filled carbon nanotubes were synthesized by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition using a simple mixture of iron acetylacetonate with a conventional photoresist and the effect of growth temperature from 550 to 950 {\deg}C on Fe…

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…

We investigate the growth of the recently demonstrated composite material composed of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes capped by few graphene layers. We show that the carbon nanotubes grow epitaxially under the few graphene layers. By…

Various diameters of alumina-supported Fe catalysts are used to grow single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with chemical vapor decomposition. We find that the reduction of the catalyst size requires an increase of the minimum temperature…

Optimized growth of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes requires a full knowledge of the actual state of the catalyst nanoparticle and its interface with the tube. Using Tight Binding based atomistic computer simulations, we calculate carbon…

A parametric study of so-called "super growth" of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) was done by using combinatorial libraries of iron/aluminum oxide catalysts. Millimeter-thick forests of nanotubes grew within 10 min, and those grown by…

The molecular dynamics method, based on an empirical potential energy surface, was used to study the effect of catalyst particle size on the growth mechanism and structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The temperature for…

We investigate iron-cobalt (Fe-Co) alloys as a representative high-performance catalyst system for SWCNT growth in a systematic manner by combining chemical vapor deposition (CVD) experiments with chirality-resolved spectroscopic analysis,…

We used microcontact printing to pattern a silicon surface with an iron-containing catalytic solution. Multi-wall carbon nanotubes were subsequently grown on the patterned areas by chemical vapor deposition at temperatures between 650 and…

The ability to integrate carbon nanotubes, especially single-walled carbon nanotubes, seamlessly onto silicon would expand the range of applications considerably. Though direct integration using chemical vapor deposition is the simplest…

Carbon nanotubes have properties depending on the arrangement of carbon atoms on the tube walls, called chirality. Also it has been tried to grow nanotubes of only one chirality for more than a decade it is still not possible today. A…

Chemical vapor deposition synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes experiments, using Fe catalyst, and alternating methane and carbon monoxide as carbon feedstocks, lead to the reversible formation of junctions between tubes of different…

We have studied nickel, gold, and ferritin coatings on catalytically grown multiwall carbon nanotubes, as well as the generation of secondary nanotubes by resubmitting the decorated nanotubes to the chemical vapor deposition process. Nickel…

The surface reconstruction of the Fe catalyst films due to high temperature processing in hydrogen prior to nanotube nucleation and its effect on the growth morphologies of partially filled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesized using…

Metal catalysts supporting the growth of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes display different carbon solubilities and chemical reactivities. In order to specifically assess the role of carbon solubility, we take advantage of the physical…
