Title:
CARBON NANOTUBE AGGREGATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/120780
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] To provide a carbon nanotube of novel structure. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A buffer layer composed of TiN is formed on an Si substrate. Co nano particles having a particle size of 5 nm or less are deposited on the buffer layer by generating a pulse arc about 3-150 times by using a pulse arc plasma under a vacuum of 1×10-5 Torr. When a carbon nanotube is grown subsequently, a pyramidal punctate aggregate of carbon nanotubes having a mean outside diameter of 4 nm and a mean inside diameter of 3 nm is formed. The aggregate exhibits high field electron emission efficiency.
