Effect of cosputtered catalyst on growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Creator:: Gunderson, Eric P.
Abstract:: The effect of cosputtered catalyst on growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was investigated. Aligned CNTs were observed using a cosputtered catalytic metal deposited directly on boro-aluminosilicate glass. Catalytic metal alloys were sputtered directly onto the substrate using magnetron sputtering. Deposition...
