Invited Paper NT+NS+EM+MS-WeA5
Synthesis and Integration of Carbon Nanotubes

Wednesday, October 27, 1999, 3:20 pm, Room 6C

Session: Nanotubes: Growth, Characterization and Properties I
Presenter: H. Dai, Stanford University
Correspondent: Click to Email
This talk focuses on controlled growth and properties of multi-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes on catalytically patterned substrates. It will be shown that new possibilities are opened up in nanotube science and applications by synthesizing nanotubes at desired locations and orientations in ordered fashions. A recently developed chemical vapor deposition method for high quality single-walled nanotubes is combined with microfabrication methods to reliably integrate single-walled nanotubes into various electrical architectures. The transport properties of individual single-walled nanotubes will be presented. Functional nanotube electrical devices with advanced performances will be shown. Issues in further control of nanotube growth will be addressed.
