Substrates pretreatment in suspensions of a detonation nanodiamond is widely used for nucleation of diamond growth by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). We found that iron inclusions in the nanodiamond provide catalytical growth of carbon nanotubes during CVD in a hot filament reactor (HF CVD). Carbon nanotubes grow in the area between two adjacent Si wafers. The diameters of such obtained nanotubes were in the range of 10–100 nm and the length of the tubes reaches about 10 µm. The proposed HF CVD method has convincing potential for the fabrication of carbon nanotube coatings on a large surface area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
