摘要: The thickness and morphology of the catalyst film significantly affect properties carbon nanotubes (CNTs). size shape are key factors for controlling CNT diameter. Therefore, objectives this study to develop a thin CNTs growth application by varying time deposition investigate effect radio frequency (rf) plasma power. was developed using physical sputtering method with an rf power between 20 100 watt at nickel as catalyst. Ni/Cr in fabricated on corning glass substrates. obtained 12 nm surface profiler characterized field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) atomic force (AFM) determine morphologies particle It observed that structural Ni is influenced time.
