Abstract
An external electric field was used for the first time as a factor controlling the synthesis of single-sheet carbon nanotubes in the expanding jet of products formed in the course of laser ablation of a carbon target with a catalyst. Application of the electric field leads to a dramatic change in a macroscopic pattern of the process, whereby almost entire reactor volume is filled with a fine carbon web. According to the results of analysis of the web fibers by Raman scattering, the material consists of single-sheet carbon nanotubes with diameters ranging from 1.23 to 1.41 nm.
