Abstract

Cone-type carbon nanostructures (referred to as “nanotip”, hereafter) have been synthesized on a highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition using methane (CH4) and/or hydrogen (H2) gas. The nanotips range from 100 to 500 nm in diameter and from 0.1 to 1 μm in height depending on growth conditions, and are grown normal to the surface. It should be noted that the nanotips grow without any catalysis and carbon source. We propose that hydrogen plasma etching plays a key role in the formation of the nanotips.
