Abstract :
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed for the morphology measurements of bamboo-shaped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (BS-MWNTs) grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition on Fe catalyst deposited SiO2/Ti substrates. Greater diameters and compartment distances of the bamboo structures were observed for the BS-MWNTs grown at 950 °C than for those grown at 850 °C.
