Abstract

Carbon nanotubes are of great interest because of their outstanding mechanical, chemical and electric properties. The decoration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with metal clusters of gold, palladium, iron, cobalt and nickel opens even more applications, especially the growth of complex conductor networks in microelectronic devices.
