“Cloning” of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes via Open-End Growth Mechanism
Abstract
Using the concept of "cloning", we report herein a rational approach to grow single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with controlled chirality via an open-end growth mechanism. Specifically, by using open-end SWNTs as "seeds/catalysts" (without metal catalysts), "new/duplicate" SWNTs could be grown and cloned from the parent segments via an open-end growth mechanism. Using this strategy, we have measured more than 600 short seed segments and have found that the yield of cloning is relatively low (around 9%). This yield can be greatly improved up to 40% by growing SWNTs on quartz substrate. Atomic force microscopy and micro resonance Raman spectroscopy characterization indicate that the parent nanotube and the duplicate nanotube have the same structure. These findings provide a potential approach for growing SWNTs with controlled chirality, which are important for the application of SWNTs in nanoelectronics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
