Novel growth of carbon nanotubes on nickel nanowires
A novel growth phenomenon is presented in this paper where carbon nanotubes (CNT) were grown successfully on nickel (Ni) nanowire using chemical vapour deposition technique. The decomposed carbon from ethylene diffused through the surface of nanowires and precipitated into hollow cylindrical carbon...

A novel growth phenomenon is presented in this paper where carbon nanotubes (CNT) were grown successfully on nickel (Ni) nanowire using chemical vapour deposition technique.
