Abstract

Carbon nanotubes have been grown using an electron cyclotron resonance(ECR) plasma source at a substrate temperature of 500 degrees C.Methane has been used as the source gas. A network of carbon nanotubes has been observed in scanning electron microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the structure consists of straight,Y-junction and ring-like nanotubes. Further, electron diffraction of the nanotubes confirms a graphite crystal structure.
