Self-organized growth of structured single-wall carbon nanotubes

单壁碳纳米管(SWCNTs)具有独特的一维纳米结构和优异的性能，具有广阔的应用前景。然而，由于其生产和实现技术仍在开发中，此类应用还很少实现。人们注意到，单壁碳纳米管之间的相互作用可以在它们生长在衬底上的过程中产生不同的系综形态。在这项研究中，我们从根本上丰富了对自组织过程的理解，并为在器件衬底上直接生长和实现结构化单壁碳纳米管的实际应用奠定了技术基础。

Many applications are expected for single-wall carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs) owing to their unique 1-dimensional nanostructure and superior properties. However, few of such applications have been realized because their production and implementation technologies are still under development. People come to notice that the interaction between SWCNTs can yield various ensemble morphologies during their growth on substrates. In this research, we enriched both the understanding of the self-organization process fundamentally and the technology base for the direct growth and implementation of structured SWCNTs on device substrates for practical applications.
