초록

Aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) nanotubes and nanorods were fabricated by coating and filling of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with atomic-layer deposition (ALD). $Al_2O_3$ material was deposited on the MWNTs at a substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ using trimethylaluminum and distilled water. Transmission electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and selected area electron diffraction of the deposited MWNTs revealed that amorphous $Al_2O_3$ material coats the MWNTs conformally and that this material fills the inside of the MWNTs. These illustrate that ALD has an excellent capability to coat and fill any three-dimensional shapes of MWNTs conformally without producing any crystallites.
