Summary: | Formation of nanocrystals with preferred orientation within the amorphous
carbon matrix has attracted lots of theoretical and experimental attentions
recently. Interesting properties of this films, easy fabrication methods and
practical problems associated with the growth of other carbon nanomaterials
such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene gives this new class of
carbon nanostructure a potential to be considered as a replacement for some
applications such as thermal management at nanoscale and interconnects. In
this short review paper, the fabrication techniques and associated formation
mechanisms of these nanostructured films have been discussed. Besides,
electrical and thermal properties of these nanostructured films have been
compared with CNTs and graphene. |
