초록 | Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are made by rolling of graphite sheet and thus have one dimensional geometry with nanometer scaled diameters. These peculiar nanostructures broaden their potential applications such as gas storage or drug delivery systems by encapsulating foreign species into their hollow space. For these applications, opening of the tube end is helpful to facilitate filling in and out processes of the species. As for CNT structure modifications, there were several reports using such as mechanical milling or chemical etching. Here, we demonstrate plasma ion bombardment effect on structure modifications of vertically grown CNT. A vertically aligned CNT film with a few hundred micrometers was grown using thermal chemical vapor deposition with acetylene sources. Then, dc Ar plasmas were used to carry out the ion bombardments. We have controlled ion bombardment energy by changing the substrate bias voltages. For structural observation of the plasma treated CNT, scanning and transmission electron microscope were used. A micro Raman spectroscopy was employed for a quantitative analysis of structure modifications. |
