A novel method is described to synthesize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) –thin graphite layer hybrid materials by a one-step catalytic chemical vapor deposition of acetylene on porous copper bulk. In porous copper, graphite thin layer grows uniformly on the surface of the pores while CNTs sprout out to form a network. As observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, the obtained CNTs exhibit bamboo-like multiple-walled structures.

Abstract The specimen preparation technique using focused ion beam (FIB) to generate cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) samples of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of Tungsten-plug (W-plug) and Tungsten Silicides (WSix) was studied. Using the combination method including two axes tilting[l], gas enhanced focused ion beam milling[2] and sacrificial metal coating on both sides of electron transmission membrane[3], it was possible to prepare a sample with minimal thickness (less than 1000 A) to get high spatial resolution in TEM observation. Based on this novel thinning technique, some applications such as XTEM observation of W-plug with different aspect ratio (I - 6), and the grain structure of CVD W-plug and CVD WSix were done. Also the problems and artifacts of XTEM sample preparation of high Z-factor material such as CVD W-plug and CVD WSix were given and the ways to avoid or minimize them were suggested.

Tin oxides nanowires were prepared by chemical vapor deposition using shadow mask. X-ray diffraction indicated that the products were tetragonal having crystalline structure with lattice constants a = 0.474 nm and c = 0.318 nm. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that inter planar spacing is 0.25 nm. The results chemical mapping in scanning transmission electron microscopy so that the two elements of Oxygen and Tin are distributed very homogeneously in nanowires and exhibit no apparent elements separation. A bottom-up mechanism for SnO2 growth process has been proposed to explain the morphology of SnO2 nanowires.

ABSTRACTMicrostructures of GaN films grown on the LiGaO2 by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). TEM and HRTEM results show that high quality single-crystal wurtzite GaN films have been deposited on the LiGaO2 and that the GaN film and the LiGaO2 have the following orientation relationship: (2110)(0002)GaN ̂ (002)LiGaO2 ^ 5–8°. A higher density of threading dislocations and stacking faults have been observed near the GáN/LiGaO2 interface, even though the lattice mismatch of GaN to LiGaO2 is only ∼1%. Threading dislocations with burgers vector b=<0001> and b=a/3<1120> are predominant in the GaN films. Also the GaN films contain some columnar inversion domain boundaries (IDBs). Both TEM and HRTEM results reveal that there is an unexpected amorphous or nano-crystalline inter-layer between the GaN and the LiGaO2 with a thickness of 50–100 nm.

The compound growth of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), which formed a nanotube cable, was achieved by the chemical vapor deposition of natural gas on an Fe catalyst supported on SiO2–Al2O3 hybrid materials at 950 °C. The microstructure of nanotubes was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The SWCNTs encapsulated inside MWCNTs can be two, three, or even more in quantity with a diameter range from 1.0 nm to 2.0 nm. The diameter of SWCNT is controlled by the size of the catalyst nanoparticles. Some bundles of SWCNT and double-walled nanotubes were also found. The possible mechanism of compound growth is briefly discussed.
