Electric field aligned growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Dittmer, S. ; Svensson, J. LU and Campbell, Eleanor E.B. (2004) In Current Applied Physics 4(6). p.595-598
Abstract

Electric field aligned, single-walled carbon nanotubes are grown between electrodes using thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of methane. The growth occurs on a thin film layered catalyst of aluminium, iron and molybdenum patterned on top of electrodes. The nanotubes bridge 10 μm sized electrode gaps and have a typical diameter of less than 2 nm as measured by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. We present electrical transport measurements on a directly grown nanotube which shows p-type semiconducting behaviour.
