Boston College Researchers discover two early stages of carbon nanotube growthChestnut Hill, MA (SPX) Oct 07, 2011 Boston College researchers have discovered two early-stage phases of carbon nanotube growth during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, finding a disorderly tangle of tube growth that ultimately yields to orderly rows of the nanoscopic tubes, according to a report in the latest edition of the journal Nanotechnology. By using a thin layer of catalyst, Professor of Physics Zhifeng Ren and researcher Dr. Hengzhi Wang discovered two previously overlooked stages of carbon nanotube growth, they re ... read more |
