Abstract:Carbon chemical vapor deposition on bulk nickel surfaces generated by abrasive treatment was experimentally studied. Initial stages of deposition were closely examined to elucidate possible effect on the formation and properties of carbon nanotube layers grown directly on bulk metal substrates. Two main phenomena complicate graphite-like carbon deposition on rough nickel surface in comparison with the perfect one. The first phenomenon is the rate increase of carbon formation at surface defects including small … Show more
