Synthesis and Characterization of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube to be used in the development of the new ionization radiation sensors

Efficiently reproduce vertically and uniformly aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes by carbon deposition are possible. The SWNT’s have been synthesized using Co and Mo precursors that have been widely used for its appropriate distribution throughout the silicon wafers. The characterization of the synthesized material was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealing that vertically aligned SWNT’s (VA-SWNT’s) agglomerated in different cross sections of the silicon wafers were obtained. Our experimental synthesis procedure clearly is an appropriate method for obtaining VA-SWNT’s. Further investigations are in process to improve and develop more effective ways to efficiently obtaining aligned SWNTs.
