摘要：

We have synthesized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using a DC arc discharge method under organic molecular atmospheres. This method allows us to synthesize about five times more MWNTs than are synthesized using the usual arc discharge method, using discharge conditions of 100 A and 20 V. We have examined the synthetic yield of MWNTs at various pressures under different organic atmospheres. The yield of MWNTs increases with the number of carbon atoms in the organic molecule.
