Two-pulse Laser ablation of carbon/catalyst composite rods comprising a variety of different metal combinations has been used to generate single-walled carbon nanotubes of widely varied diameter distribution. Resulting SWNTs have been characterized by (n)IR absorption and Raman spectroscopy as well as by dynamic light scattering, SEM and NMR.
