Growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by metal-catalyzed thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) upon flat silicon substrates is studied as a function of growth temperature. It is found that the CNT growth rate at a given temperature is constant for a certain amount of growth time, after which growth ceases; the product o…

Abstract A method for the preparation of well‐defined crystallites of MgCl 2 ‐supported Ziegler‐Natta catalysts on Si wafers has been developed. This has been achieved by the spin‐coating of a MgCl 2 solution onto a flat Si wafer, followed by controlled crystal growth to give well‐defined MgCl 2 · n EtOH crystallites.…
