摘要：

Uniform and small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been produced using identical molecular nanoclusters containing Fe and Mo atoms with a defined molecular formula and a specific structure as catalysts in a chemical vapor deposition method. The average diameter of the SWNTs produced in these experiments is 1.0 nm with a standard deviation for the diameter distribution of 17%. The diameters of SWNTs were obtained by atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Copyright © 2002 American Chemical Society.
