Abstract

Laser ablation products from fullerene materials have been studied by transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Using nickel and cobalt as a catalyst, single-wall carbon nanotubes were produced at an ambient temperature of 400 °C. The results were compared with those using graphite as starting materials. It is suggested that the formation of single-wall carbon nanotubes is controlled by both the availability of proper precursors and the activity of the metal catalyst.
