摘要
The preparation of massive carbon nanotubes on silicon, quartz and ceramic substrates using microwave plasma enhanced CVD is reported. The nanotubes, ranging from 10 to 120 nm in diameter and a few tens of microns in length, were formed under hydrocarbon plasma at 720 degrees C with the aid of iron-oxide particles. It is found that the morphology of the nanotubes is strongly influenced by the now ratio of methane to hydrogen. Defect-less nanotubes with small diameters are favourably produced under a small flow ratio. In contrast, defect-rich nanotubes with large diameters and highly disordered growth directions are formed at a large flow ratio. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
