Mechanism of carbon nanostructure synthesis in arc plasma

M. Keidar, A. Shashurin, O. Volotskova, Y. Raitses, and I. I. Beilis<br/> Plasma enhanced techniques are widely used for synthesis of carbon nanostructures. The primary focus of this paper is to summarize recent experimental and theoretical advances in understanding of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) synthesis mechanism in arcs, and to describe methods of controlling a … [Phys.
