Abstract

Quantification using SEM of single walled carbon nanotubes grown per unit area using a Co-Fe (50:50) catalyst system, prepared by the incorporation of the appropriate metal salts into a Spin-On Glass substrate, at 900 °C. The effects of substrate, as well as catalyst precursor concentration, were in...
