We report a study on a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system optimized for the growth of well packed and vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on uncoated silicon substrates. The process of synthesis involves the co-evaporation of a carbon precursor and a metal catalyst in a nitrogen atmosphere inside a high temperature furnace. Beside the formation of CNTs, depending in particular on the deposition temperature, other carbon structures can be deposited, such as nanographite. We show the growth results analyzed by different characterization techniques (electron microscopy, porosity and thermal stability investigations, micro-Raman spectroscopy). In addition, we report an investigation on the development of secondary transversal vortex flows caused by the effects of distribution of temperatures inside the growth system, in order to correlate them with the growth results.

Because of the unique energetic, refractive and photoconductive characteristics of effective nano-objects, especially carbon nanotubes, the modification of optical properties of the organic and inorganic materials can be considered as the preferable one via the use of the nanostructuration process. Emphasis has been given to the incorporation of nanoobjects directly in the materials’ body and on their surface. Under the conditions of a surface treatment of the inorganic structures, an IR-laser at the wavelength of 10.6 micrometers was used to orientate carbon nanotubes deposited in the electric field of 100-600 V×cm-1. Dramatic spectral and mechanical parameters changes have been found. Refractive features of the nanostructured organics have been studied via applying the second harmonic of the pulsed Nd-laser at different spatial frequencies and under the nanoparticles sensitization doping such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, shungites, quantum dots, and graphenes. A drastically obtained laser-induced refractive index has been established. A prediction has been proposed to extend the area of the application of the systems considered.

ABSTRACTVery hot carbon vapor was deposited on highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and on sapphire substrates. Using atomic force microscopy, the obtained carbon structures are analyzed. It is found that carbon nanotubes and cones had formed on the graphite substrate but not on sapphire. Instead, spherical-type nanoparticles are analyzed on sapphire. A particle with double-conical shape is found on the graphite substrate. The two observed cone angles 19° and 60° are explained by perfect network closure of sectors of curled graphene sheets.

Catalyst Effect

Hybrid compounds of multiwalled carbon nanotubes-alumina (MWCNT-Al2O3) were grown by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method of methane. The catalyst effect and growth of the synthesis of the multiwalled carbon nanotubes-alumina (MWCNT-Al2O3) hybrid compound in three different supported catalysts (Ni, Co and Fe nitrates) were being compared. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) were employed for the characterization of the hybrid compound. The results revealed that the Ni nitrates catalysts showed a better growth rate performance than Co Nitrates and Fe Nitrates. With respect to the diameter of the MWCNT-Al2O3,the Fe nitrate showed lengthens in diameter compared to Co Nitrates and Ni Nitrates catalyst. This indicated that the growths of these carbon structures can be controlled and manipulated by the supported catalyst.
