“…By combining both the proposed alignment mechanisms, this paper presents a new insight of aligning SWNTs with higher density and higher degree of alignment compared to 2 the previously reported results. [16][17][18][19][20]24,25 Moreover, we will show that both gas-flow assisted and "trench-assisted" alignment contributed to the improvement of density and degree of alignment. Lastly, parameters like temperature, gas flow rate, gas flow direction, and trench widths were varied in 5 order to investigate scalability.…”
