From: Heteroepitaxial Growth of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes from Boron Nitride
SEM, Raman and TEM characterizations of the SWCNTs grown from BNNFs.
(a, b) SEM images of a sample after CVD growth. Both BNNFs and newly grown fibrous materials are observed. (c) Raman spectrum of the as-grown samples. RBM peaks that are characteristic of SWCNTs are clearly observed. (d–e) TEM images showing small SWCNT bundles grown along and bridging the BNNFs. (f) TEM image of a SWCNT rooted in a BNNF (indicated by the arrow), with its wall connected to the open BN (002) edges.
