Research Abstract

It is important to obtain chirality-controlled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for SWNT applications. We have developed the growth and separation techniques of the chirality-controlled SWNTs. The SWNT chirality was analyzed by optical and electronic conductivity properties. In order to control the chirality, the catalyst control by using combinatorial method and SAM layer method was performed and the CVD gas effect was investigated. The growth mechanism of horizontally-aligned SWNTs on crystal quartz was elucidated. DGU technique was performed for chirality separation after the growth, and the separation of electronic conductivity (metallic or semiconducting) and chirality was succeeded.
