Abstract

We have produced bundles of nanotubes by vapor-phase condensation of carbon on highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The bundles are found to have widths between 15 nm and 50 nm, and up to 200 nm long. They are composed of concentric tubules with 2-4 nm in diameter. Atomic resolution STM images reveal their graphitic surface structure.
