ABSTRACT

After carbon nanotubes synthesis in 1991, the interest to these objects is constantly increasing. However, till recently high-temperature evaporation of graphite in arc charge has been the only method of nanotubes synthesis. Significant success has been achieved in the frameworks of this method, but still there is necessity to develop low-temperature synthesis methods with the possibility to control the chemical process, to modify the structure of already prepared tubes and to obtain heterojunctions on their basis.
