摘要：

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown using a modified atmospheric pressure plasma with NH3(210 sccm)/N-2(100 SCCM)/ C2H2(150 sccm)/He(8 slm) at low substrate temperatures (<= 500 degrees C) and their physical and electrical characteristics were investigated as the application to field emission devices. The grown CNTs were multi-wall CNTs (at 450 degrees C, 15-25 layers of carbon sheets, inner diameter: 10-15 nm, outer diameter: 30-50 nm) and the increase of substrate temperature increased the CNT length and decreased the CNT diameter. The length and diameter of the CNTs grown for 8 min at 500 degrees C were 8 mu m and 40 +/- 15 nm, respectively. Also, the defects in the grown CNTs were also decreased with increasing the substrate temperature (The ratio of defect to graphite (I-D/I-G) measured by FT-Raman at 500 degrees C was 0.882). The turn-on electric field of the CNTs grown at 450 degrees C was 2.6 V/mu m and the electric field at 1 mA/cm(2) was 3.5 V/mu m. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
