Patterns in the bulk growth of carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes grown in situ by a novel catalytic method

“…Higher magnification images The particular microstructure consisting of nanotubes that form bundles, which in turn are organized into larger bundles, has been reported by others. 6,7,22,23 According to Ebbesen et al, 7,22 bundle formation could explain the high yield of nanotubes by some templating effect. Considering that all tubes in a bundle are about the same length, we estimate that our nanotubes have an aspect ratio in the 1000-10,000 range, which is much higher than previously reported.…”

Carbon Nanotube and Gold‐Based Materials: A Symbiosis

“…[5] Since their discovery in 1991, [6] carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted increasing attention, as they belong to a family of nano-objects with remarkable physical, chemical, mechanical, and electronic properties. [7,8] Macroscopic quantities of nanotubes are routinely produced by three different methods, the arc discharge method, [9] the laser vaporization at elevated temperatures, [10] or by the catalytic decomposition of small hydrocarbon molecules. [11] Recently, there is a rapidly growing interest in the understanding of their growth mechanisms and electronic properties.…”
