Abstract
Carbon nanotubes prepared by de arc discharge of graphite electrodes in He and CH4 gas took markedly different morphology. Thick nanotubes embellished with many carbon nanoparticles were obtained by evaporation under high CH4 gas pressure and high arc current. Thin and long carbon nanotubes were obtained under a CH4 gas pressure of 50Torr and an arc current of 20A for the anode with a diameter of 6mm.Keywords
