Abstract

We fabricated cone-shaped carbon nanotube assemblies, which align in a densely packed geometry like a cedar tree forest, on unpatterned nanocomposite substrate of Ni and Mo by the DC plasma assisted hot filament chemical vapor deposition. Carbon nanotubes initially grew on the nickel domains created during deposition, forming cone-shaped assemblies. These assemblies grew keeping their shape with decreasing their number density by merging together. The relationship between the mean volume and the number density of conical-shaped tree-like assemblies was similar to one of natural plant forest.
