| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Growth of high-density and short height CNT forest and their optical properties were investigated for the development of CNT forest metamaterials. In-situ conductance measurement method was developed to characterize the high-density catalyst particle formation during the sputtering deposition, which revealed the initial formation of the catalyst islands to continuous films. Optical properties at the wide range of UV-VIS, IR, and THz were investigated for the high-density and short-height (1um - 1mm) CNT forests. Anisotropic optical index of vertically aligned CNT forests were interpreted by the anisotropic electrical conductance of nano-rods of CNTs.Growth density of CNT forests was successfully estimated by the pi plasmon absorption (5.5eV) intensities and CNT diameter observed by SEM. Optical metamaterials by patterning of CNT forests was not achieved.
