Nanopattern formation using localized plasma for growth of single-standing carbon nanotubes

M. Javadi, Y. Abdi
In brief

A plasma-based method that makes carbon nanotubes grow as self-organized, individually standing patterns.

Key results
  • The plasma localizes around the growth region and exerts a dielectrophoretic force on the nickel catalyst.
  • Numerical simulations of the localized plasma reproduce the observed patterns.
  • A low-cost route to nanotube arrays for photonic crystals and field-emission devices.
