Abstract

We review the advances made in understanding the mechanism of catalyzed carbon nanotube growth, with the main focus on direct dynamics and molecular dynamics studies of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) growth. These studies have deepened our understanding of the catalytic SWNT nucleation and growth mechanisms, but more accurate and efficient methods are required for a complete investigation at experimental growth conditions.
