On the mechanism of carbon nanotube formation by means of catalytic chemical vapour deposition

Despite enormous strides in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the mechanism for growth is still a highly debated issue. It is generally accepted that the model for carbon filament growth [1, 2], derived from concepts of vapour-liquid-solid theory, also applies to CNT growth. However, this mo...
