Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on Ni- and Fe-coated SiO2/Si substrates in a laser oven apparatus. The grown CNTs were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. It is speculated that the CNTs grow out from the metal nanoparticle after laser-ablated carbon clusters have been dissolved in it. In a range of oven temperatures between 800 and 1100°C, growth of CNTs was achieved at a temperature ≥ 1000°C. The thickness of the Ni film controlled the CNTs diameter.
