Author:Malgas, GF; Arendse, CJ; Cele, NP; Cummings, FRDate:Feb 2008This paper reports on the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by thermal Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) and investigates the effects of nitrogen carrier gas flow rates and mixture ratios on the morphology of CNTs on a silicon substrate by ...Read more
Author:Thabethe, BS; Malgas, GF; Motaung, DE; Malwela, T; Arendse, CJDate:Jan 2013The authors report on the synthesis of tin oxide (SnO(sub2)) nanowires by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Commercially bought SnO nanopowders were vaporized at 1050°C for 30 minutes with argon gas continuously passing through the ...Read more

X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy ...Read more
Author:Swartbooi, Ashton M; North, Brian CDate:Nov 2008Current methods employed to synthesise carbon nanotubes (CNTs) include hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (CVD) techniques as well as laser ablation. These methods however produce small amounts of nanotubes at a high production cost. The use ...Read more
