Fabrication and characterisation of chemical vapour deposition grown branched carbon nanotube arrays

Rory W. Leahy

Abstract

The fabrication, optimisation and characterisation of arrays of straight and junction\nmultiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) is presented in this thesis. A detailed description of\nthe design and fabrication of the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) system used for their\nproduction is presented. Various carbon nanotube (CNT) geometries produced during the\noptimisation of the CVD parameters, such as mats, vertically aligned forests and long\nCNTs are presented and discussed.
