“…Up to date, it is well known that the nanotube alignment in PECVD is due to the strong electric field near a substrate . However, it is unclear why the densely packed vertically aligned SWCNTs may be so long in a plasma, and what is required to make these nanostructures even longer.…”

The enhanced large‐scale model and numerical simulations are used to clarify the growth mechanism and the differences between the plasma‐ and neutral gas‐grown carbon nanotubes, and to reveal the underlying physics and the key growth parameters. The results show that the nanotubes grown by plasma can be longer due to the effects of hydrocarbon ions with velocities aligned with the nanotubes. We show that the low‐temperature growth is possible when the hydrocarbon ion flux dominates over fluxes of other species. We have also analysed the dependencies of the nanotube growth rates on nanotube and process parameters. The results are verified by a direct comparison with the experimental data. The model is generic and can be used for other types of carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanowalls, vertical graphenes, etc.

Fluorene‐type (C13H10) thin films were synthesized by using the mixture of biphenyl (C12H10) and methane (CH4) plasma. The reactor is a parallel plate installation; upper electrode is connected to 13.56 MHz rf power and lower electrode is grounded. The thin films were deposited by applying a negative bias potential between the substrate and the wall of reactor. The films were investigated by residual gas analysis (RGA), UV–vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscope (AFM) and ellipsometry. They had significant nanostructured properties which were suitable for photovoltaic applications. The conjugation was improved by iodine doping and the optical band gap energy dropped down up to 2.85 eV.

“…The resulting surface consists of pAA truncated cones separated by Si substrate zones (seeFigure 14). A similar approach was used by Sardella et al[75] and Pistillo et al[76] for fabrication of PEO-like and pAA nanostructured surfaces for cell adhesion studies.…”
