Synthesis Methods and Growth Mechanisms

  • Chapter
Understanding Carbon Nanotubes

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 677))

Abstract

In this chapter, our purpose is to present how carbon nanotubes are synthesized and how their formation and growth can be studied, understood and modeled. We give an overview of the different synthesis methods, which can be classi fied into two main categories according to the synthesis temperature. We include a review of the CVD synthesis of carbon filaments, as an introduction to that of nanotubes.
