Nitrogen-containing carbon (CN sub(x)) nanotubes have been grown vertically on silicon substrates by decomposition of a ferrocene/acetonitrile aerosol at temperatures 750, 800, 850, and 900 degree [ETH]!. A CN sub(x) nanotube array, produced at 850 degree [ETH]!, had the greatest height 220 mu m and...
