摘要: The growth of multiwall carbon nanotubes is characterized in situ a chemical vapor deposition reactor by measuring the current extracted field emission from growing nanostructures. lengthening provokes an increase emitted at constant applied voltage, and use phosphor screen allows to observe individual emitters during growth. A simple model permits furthermore estimate rate. grow with closed cap under 10 - 2 -10 4 mbar C H2 700 °C rate over I μm/s that increases H pressure. neither simultaneous nor homogeneous cathode involves different activation time for every emitter.
