Carbon nanostructures including carbon graphene patches, onions, fibers and nanotubes were directly grown on 120 nm thick freestanding Ti (100 nm)/Ni (20 nm) bimetal structures. During the direct growth of carbon nanostructures, the bimetal layers are scrolled. The interplay between stress driven by the scrolled bimetal and anisotropic carbon nanostructure growth increases the number of turns and induces the transition of carbon nanostructure growth behavior from the lateral to the vertical growth at the growth temperature of 375 oC.
