Embodiment Construction

[0030] In the following, various embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0031] The method used to fabricate single-walled carbon nanotube crystals involves nanoscale patterning of a solid matrix material. Fullerene (here C 60 molecules) and a controlled mixture of nickel as a catalyst evaporates onto a molybdenum substrate. The resulting structure is then pyrolyzed in vacuum in the presence of a magnetic field. A combination of electron diffraction studies and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) confirmed that the resulting structures are nearly perfect columnar crystals of single-walled carbon nanotubes oriented perpendicular to the substrate surface.

[0032] A first schematic diagram of an apparatus for manufacturing single-walled carbon nanotubes is shown in FIG. 1 .

[0033] The reaction chamber 1 comprises four openings, a first opening through which is passed a sample holder 9 for holding a substrate 4 and a patterned evaporation template 7, also ...

Abstract

The invention is directed to a method of manufacturing single-walled carbon nanotubes comprising the steps of providing on a substrate at least one pillar comprising alternate layers of a first precursor material comprising fullerene molecules and a second precursor material comprising a catalyst, and heating the at least one pillar in the presence of a first magnetic or electric field. It further is directed to a precursor arrangement for manufacturing single-walled carbon nanotubes comprising on a substrate at least one pillar comprising alternate layers of a first precursor material comprising fullerene molecules and a second precursor material comprising a catalyst. A third aspect is a nanotube arrangement comprising a substrate and thereupon at least one crystal comprising a bundle of single-walled carbon nanotubes with essentially identical orientation and structure.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method of fabricating single-walled carbon nanotubes that promotes the self-assembly of single crystals of single-walled carbon nanotubes by field-enhanced thermal decomposition of nanopatterned precursors. Background technique [0002] Carbon nanotubes have been the subject of intense research since their discovery in 1991. One of the most desirable goals for making carbon nanotubes is to form very consistent and ordered nanostructures and microstructures, and ultimately bulk materials. [0003] Potential applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes range from structural materials with extraordinary mechanical properties to nanoelectronic components with the potential to break Moore's law. Single-walled carbon nanotubes can be used as the tip-most probe tip for scanning probe microscopy, with the added ability to render the apex functional for chemical analysis. These nanostructures could also be used to make microbalances, gas det...
