Additional information
The growth of carbon nano-tubes through chemical vapour deposition is a catalytic process and as such is difficult to reproduce between systems. In this paper we describe a wide range of techniques and explain for the first time the mechanisms behind the formation of high-density nano-tube forests. The elucidation of this mechanism opens the way to reliable nano-tube growth suited to batch fabrication and mass production of devices. The success of this work led to an EPSRC grant to develop thermal probes for the characterization of nano-materials (EP/J010774/1, £563k).
