To spontaneously form Ni nanoparticle catalysts on substrates, the nominal Ni thickness should be very small; if Ni forms nanoparticles of the same diameter as Co and grows SWNTs of

Raman RBM and G-band peak intensities, and is consistent with the quality of SWCNTs grown. With increasing CVD processing time, the Raman intensity of carbon

Further, from different Al-O chemical states (originated from surface oxidation states), significant variations in CNT growth results are suggested to be due to the alteration

Figure 4-15 shows resonance Raman spectra of as-grown SWNTs synthesized from different catalytic powders measured using three different excitation wavelengths (488,

1) Vertically aligned growth of SWNTs on flat substrates was demonstrated for the first time to be possible under an optimum CVD condition. The cleanness of the chamber is
