Growth, Characterization, and Potential Applications of Periodic Carbon Nanotube Arrays
Abstract
Periodically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays have been grown on Ni dots made by nanosphere lithography. Optical characterization reveals strong interaction between the nanotubes' surface and incident light. Periodic CNT arrays interact strongly with light because their feature size is on the order of a light wave. It is believed that resonant structures such as these will be of interest in many applications where there is a desire to have efficient interaction between a material system and visible to near-infrared electromagnetic radiation.
