摘要
We succeeded in growing carbon nanotubes in a photoelectron spectroscopy analysis system using thermal chemical vapor deposition and analyzed the chemical states of the Co catalysts by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy before and after the growth. The carbon nanotubes were grown in an ethanol ambient at about 4 x 10(-2) Torr, a relatively low pressure that was used because we needed to subsequently measure photoelectrons under ultrahigh vacuum. We found that almost all of the Co particles are metallic after the growth. This shows that the metallic state is stable for Co under low-pressure ethanol ambient in our growth condition for carbon nanotubes.
