Abstract

The use of a closely related synthesis process, cold wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to produce single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was discussed. It was observed that the grown materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. It was found that cold wall CVD can produce SWNTs as confirmed by the PL measurements. The cold wall CVD had advantages such as rapid temperature adjustment, low power consumption, growth with temperature gradients and potential for in situ optical monitoring.
