Additional information
Proposes a new mechanism for controlled formation of nanotubes with in-depth examination of the evidence. Demonstrates that catalyst particles are iron carbide, preferentially oriented during nanotube formation. Citing this work, Huynh et al. note their model is supported by our observation “of nanotubes growing at both ends from a ruptured catalyst particle" [Carbon 62(2013)204-212]; also “Koziol et al. reported the preferential growth of achiral CNTs ... Their studies support that the role of nitrogen is to stabilize … particles which act as epitaxial template for the selective nucleation” [Carbon 58(2013)2]. Crucial in securing ERC Starting Grant for Koziol.
