   Abstract:
   Centimetre long carbon nanotubes were successfully grown from ethanol decomposition in chemical vapor deposition by using iron as the catalyst and silicon as the substrates. Ethanol is found to be a good carbon source to produce clean and long carbon nanotubes. Scanning electronic microscopy images show that the carbon nanotubes are up to 4 cm long. Atomic force microscopy and Raman spectrum were performed. The surface morphology was also studied using scanning electronic microscopy, and possible growth mechanism is discussed.
