Abstract

We describe the synthesis and characterization of aligned carbon nanotubes deposited on quartz substrates by pyrolysis of a xylene–ferrocene mixture at 700 °C at atmospheric pressure. For microscopic characterization of the pyrolyzed products, scanning and transmission electron microscopies and scanning tunneling microcopy were used, and properties of bulk samples were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and x-ray powder diffraction methods. The nanotubes have topological defects and many contain metal particles. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy proved that the nanotubes had a metallic electrical conductivity with resonant states near the Fermi energy. The states are ascribed to the dangling bonds originating from the defects.
