“…MWNTs 26 and SWNTs 27 that grow from small catalyst clusters (≈1 nm in diameter) have similar diameters as the catalyst particle. Also, experimental data suggests that the thinnest free-standing SWNT that grows catalytically is 0.6-0. that is in contact with the metal particle.…”

The molecular dynamics method, based on an empirical potential energy surface, was used to study the effect of catalyst particle size on the growth mechanism and structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The temperature for nanotube nucleation (800-1100 K), which occurs on the surface of the cluster, is similar to that used in catalyst chemical vapor deposition experiments, and the growth mechanism, which is described within the vapor-liquid-solid model, is the same for all cluster sizes studied here (iron clusters containing between 10 and 200 atoms were simulated). Large catalyst particles, that contain at least 20 iron atoms, nucleate SWNTs and have a far better tubular structure than SWNTs nucleated from smaller clusters. In addition, the SWNTs that grow from the larger clusters have diameters that are similar to the cluster diameter, whereas the smaller clusters, which have diameters less than 0.5 nm, nucleate nanotubes that are approximately 0.6-0.7 nm in diameter. This is in agreement with the experimental observations that SWNT diameters are similar to the catalyst particle diameter, and that the narrowest free-standing SWNT is 0.6-0.7 nm.

International audienceThick films of double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCN) were deposited on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates by drop casting method and were studied for their field electron emission property in a parallel plate configuration using bare ITO coated glass as counter electrode. They show excellent field electron emission property with low turn-on-field of about 0.8 V/lm and threshold field of about 1.8 V/lm. Field enhancement factor calculated from the non-saturated region of the FN plot is about 1715. Field electron emission current was observed to be stable up to 3000 min, indicating thereby that DWCNs are excellent electron emitters with appreciable stable performance

A new method for preparation of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-zinc oxide hybrid on a glass substrate at low temperature is introduced and the stability improvement of¯eld emission of CNTs is reported. The emission current stability and substrate material are the two main commercial parameters for¯eld emission applications of CNTs. The two alternative current (AC) and direct current (DC) plasma enhancement chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is used to achieve lowtemperature growth of vertically aligned CNTs and the hydrothermal processing is used for production of zinc oxide nanowires to improve the emission current stability and properties. The nanoscale junction between a semiconductor and conductive material are critical for electronic applications. The present study examined the¯eld emission properties of CNTs near the crystalline structure of the zinc oxide hybrids and showed the improvement in the¯eld enhancement factor and emission current stability of CNT-ZnO hybrid than the CNT emitters.
