摘要
A processing route has been developed to grow bundles of carbon nanotubes on substrates from methane and hydrogen mixtures by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, catalyzed by iron particles reduced from ferric nitrate. Growth takes place at about 900 degrees C leading to nanotubes with lengths of more than 20 mu m and diameters on the nanometer scale. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
