Abstract |
We have grown carbon nanotubes by thermal chemical vapor deposition of C_{2}H_{2} on catalytic metal deposited on silicon oxide substrates. Highly purified carbon nanotubes are uniformly grown on a large area of the silicon oxide substrates. It is observed that surface modification of catalytic metals deposited on substrates by either etching with dipping in a HF solution and/or NH_{3} pretreatment is a crucial step for the nanotube growth prior to the reaction of C_{2}H_{2} gas. The diameters of carbon naotubes could be controlled by applying the different catalytic metals. |
