Abstract

Carbon nanowalls (CNWs) are synthesized under pure methane gas (CH 4) using helicon plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. CH 4 in the helicon discharge is effectively dissociated to hydrogen atoms and hydrocarbon radicals, resulting in the formation of CNWs on a Ni substrate only from CH4. CNWs are grown up at a high growth rate of 18μm/h.
