8.1    Freestanding Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Growth

The enormous potential of plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for nanotube growth was first shown by Ren et al. in 1998 [1]. Since then, vertically and individually aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been grown by plasma CVD. Compared to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by thermal CVD, which are spaghetti-like, ...
