Abstract

Carbon, silicon nitride and boron nitride nanostructures were synthesized using microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Both scanning and transmission electron microscopies and x-ray diffraction were used to observe the morphology and structures while energy dispersive x-ray was used to determine the composition of the nanostructured materials. Bamboo-like multiwalled carbon nanotube structures were observed while silicon nitride showed novel needle-like solid structures. All materials were deposited using a thin film iron catalyst seeded on either silicon with reactive plasma gases containing either a mixture of methane and ammonia or ammonia. A general discussion of the nucleation and growth mechanisms for the various materials will also be included.
