This engineering-focused paper compares carbon nanotube growth in dense low-temperature plasma versus on a substrate surface using hybrid/Monte-Carlo simulations. It reports that plasma parameters strongly influence ion fluxes and nanotube growth kinetics, with large differences in growth rates and fluxes between…

This engineering study examines multi-wall carbon nanotubes suspended in water exposed to AC electric fields generated by 3D electrodes. It reports field-induced polarization leading to nanotube alignment and long-range, electrically conducting assemblies spanning the electrode gap, with assembly length controlled by…
