Abstract
A single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) by Nd:YAG laser vaporization of porous cobalt-nickel/graphite targets without applying external heat to the target is produced. Both continuous wave and pulsed laser techniques were explored. A method developed for the analysis of transmission electron microscopy images was used to estimate SWNT content in the laser-generated carbon samples. The investigations indicated that high energy laser pulses produce particles from highly porous targets by ablation which are too large to readily be incorporated into growing nanotubes.
