Nanotube Growth and Characterization

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Carbon Nanotubes

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 80))

Abstract

This chapter presents a review of various growth methods for carbon nanotubes. Recent advances in nanotube growth by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approaches are summarized. CVD methods are promising for producing high quality nanotube materials at large scales. Moreover, controlled CVD growth strategies on catalytically patterned substrates can yield ordered nanotube architectures and integrated devices that are useful for fundamental characterizations and potential applications of nanotube molecular wires.
