Highly aligned carbon nanotube arrays (HACNTAs) were synthesized on a stainless steel substrate from a methanol solution of Co(Ⅲ) acetylacetonate by the one-step liquid-phase synthesis, and effects of H2O addition on the HACNTA growth were examined. The growth rate was considerably accelerated, and the lifetime of the catalysts was prolonged by addition of a small amount of H2O. HACNTAs with over 400 m thickness were formed on the side surfaces of the substrate by resistance-heating for one hour. This suggests that the added H2O removes deposited amorphous carbons from the catalyst surfaces and consequently accelerates the growth rate.

Aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) array adhesion strength evolves with CNT process time, decreasing and then increasing during growth and annealing, as captured by models relating CNT diameter, array effective modulus, and CNT–substrate work of adhesion.

Due to the high field enhancement factor and photon-absorption efficiency, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely used in optically induced field-emission as a cathode. Here, we report vertical carbon nanotube arrays (VCNTAs) that performed as high-density electron sources. A combination of high applied electric field and laser illumination made it possible to modulate the emission with laser pulses. When the bias electric field and laser power density increased, the emission process is sensitive to a power law of the laser intensity, which supports the emission mechanism of optically induced field emission followed by over-the-barrier emission. Furthermore, we determine a polarization dependence that exhibits a cosine behavior, which verifies the high possibility of optically induced field emission.
