  • Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were grown on a Si wafer by using thermal chemical vapor deposition (t-CVD). We investigated the effect of the catalyst deposition rate on the types of CNTs grown on the substrate. In general, smaller islands of catalyst occur by agglomeration of a catalyst layer upon annealing as the catalyst layer becomes thinner, which results in the growth of CNTs with smaller diameters. For the same thickness of catalyst, a slower deposition rate will cause a more uniformly thin catalyst layer, which will be agglomerated during annealing, producing smaller catalyst islands. Thus, we can expect that the smaller-diameter CNTs will grow on the catalyst deposited with a lower rate even for the same thickness of catalyst. The 0.5-nm-thick Fe served as a catalyst, underneath which Al was coated as a catalyst support as well as a diffusion barrier on the Si substrate. The catalyst layers were. coated by using thermal evaporation. The deposition rates of the Al and Fe layers varied to be 90, 180 sec/nm and 70, 140 sec/nm, respectively. We prepared the four different combinations of the deposition rates of the AI and Fe layers. CNTs were synthesized for 10 min by flowing 60 sccm of Ar and 60 sccm of $H_2$ as a carrier gas and 20 sccm of $C_2H_2$ as a feedstock at 95 torr and $810^{\circ}C$. The substrates were subject to annealing for 20 sec for every case to form small catalyst islands prior to CNT growth. As-grown CNTs were characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis NIR spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The fast deposition of both the Al and Fe layers gave rise to the growth of thin multiwalled CNTs with the height of ${\sim}680\;{\mu}m$ for 10 min while the slow deposition caused the growth of ${\sim}800\;{\mu}m$ high SWCNTs. Several radial breathing mode (RBM) peaks in the Raman spectra were observed at the Raman shifts of $113.3{\sim}281.3\;cm^{-1}$, implying the presence of SWCNTs (or double-walled CNTs) with the tube diameters 2.07~0.83 nm. The Raman spectra of the as-grown SWCNTs showed very low G/D peak intensity ratios, indicating their low defect concentrations.

  • Electrochemical surface treatment is commonly used to form a thin, rough, and porous oxidation layer on the surface of titanium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the formation of nanotubular titanium oxide arrays during short anodization processing. The specimen used in this study was 99.9% pure cp-Ti (ASTM Grade II) in the form of a disc with diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. A DC power supplier was used with the anodizing apparatus, and the titanium specimen and the platinum plate ($3mm{\times}4mm{\times}0.1mm$) were connected to an anode and cathode, respectively. The progressive formation of $TiO_2$ nanotubes was observed with FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy). Highly ordered $TiO_2$ nanotubes were formed at a potential of 20 V in a solution of 1M $H_3PO_4$ + 1.5 wt.% HF for 10 minutes, corresponding with steady state processing. The diameters and the closed ends of $TiO_2$ nanotubes measured at a value of 50 cumulative percent were 100 nm and 120 nm, respectively. The $TiO_2$ nanotubes had lengths of 500 nm. As the anodization processing reached 10 minutes, the frequency distribution for the diameters and the closed ends of the $TiO_2$ nanotubes was gradually reduced. Short anodization processing for $TiO_2$ nanotubes of within 10 minutes was established.

  • 전기방사에 대한 연구는 지난 10여 년간 의료, 산업용에 적합한 적용 기술 연구로 많은 발전을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 용액전기방사법으로 다중벽탄소나노튜브(MWNT)를 함유하는 폴리카보네이트(PC) 나노섬유와 복합필라멘트 섬유를 제조하였다. 폴리카보네이트 나노섬유 내에서의 분산성을 향상시키기 위하여 다중벽탄소나노튜브를 in-situ 방법으로 개질하였다. THF와 DMF의 혼합용매를 사용하여 다중벽 탄소나노튜브가 함유된 폴리카보네이트(PC/mMWNT) 나노섬유를 제조하였다. 제조된 PC/mMWNT 나노섬유의 TEM 사진 분석결과 다중벽 탄소나노튜브가 폴리카보네이트 나노섬유 내에 잘 분산되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 다중벽탄소나노튜브의 함량이 증가할수록 순수 폴리카보네이트 섬유에 비해 열안정성이 우수하였으며, 표면저항기 측정결과 3 wt%와 5 wt%에서 109.1~109.5 ${\Omega}$의 대전방지효과를 기대할 수 있는 전기적 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 PC/mMWNT를 이용하여 제조된 멀티필라멘트 섬유는 SEM을 분석결과 직경 $60{\sim}100{\mu}m$, 길이 4~5 cm의 멀티필라멘트(Multi-Filament yarn)가 제조되었음을 확인하였다.

  • 탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 합성기판 사이의 전도성 향상을 목적으로, 현재 리튬이온이차전지 등의 분야에서 전극으로 이용되고 있는 구리 호일을 합성기판으로 하여, 그 위에 수직배향 CNT 성장의 합성 최적화를 도모하였다. 합성은 수평식 CVD 합성장비를 이용하였으며, 최적의 합성조건은 구리호일 위에 10 nm의 Al2O3 버퍼층과 1 nm 두께의 Fe 촉매층을 증착한 후, 아세틸렌 가스를 이용하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 합성한 조건으로 설정하였다. CNT는 base-growth의 성장형태를 따랐고, Fe 1 nm 두께인 경우, $7.2{\pm}1.5nm$의 촉매나노입자가 형성되었으며, 이를 이용하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 20분 성장결과, 직경 8.2 nm, 길이 $325{\mu}m$의 수직배향 CNT를 얻을 수 있었다. 합성시간이 길어져도 CNT의 결정성, 직경 및 겹(wall) 수에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 끝으로, 구리호일 위에 수직 성장시킨 CNT의 전계방출 특성을 측정한 결과, 실리콘 산화막 위에 성장시킨 CNT와 비교하여, 월등히 낮은 전계방출 문턱전압과 10배 정도 높은 전계향상계수를 보였다. 이는 CNT와 금속기판 사이의 계면에서 전기전도도가 향상된 결과에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

  • One-dimensional nanosturctures such as nanowires and nanotube have been mainly proposed as important components of nano-electronic devices and are expected to play an integral part in design and construction of these devices. Silicon carbide(SiC) is one of a promising wide bandgap semiconductor that exhibits extraordinary properties, such as higher thermal conductivity, mechanical and chemical stability than silicon. Therefore, the synthesis of SiC-based nanowires(NWs) open a possibility for developing a potential application in nano-electronic devices which have to work under harsh environment. In this study, one-dimensional nanowires(NWs) of cubic phase silicon carbide($\beta$-SiC) were efficiently produced by thermal chemical vapor deposition(T-CVD) synthesis of mixtures containing Si powders and hydrocarbon in a alumina boat about $T\;=\;1400^{\circ}C$ SEM images are shown that the temperature below $1300^{\circ}C$ is not enough to synthesis the SiC NWs due to insufficient thermal energy for melting of Si Powder and decomposition of methane gas. However, the SiC NWs are produced over $1300^{\circ}C$ and the most efficient temperature for growth of SiC NWs is about $1400^{\circ}C$ with an average diameter range between 50 ~ 150 nm. Raman spectra revealed the crystal form of the synthesized SiC NWs is a cubic phase. Two distinct peaks at 795 and $970\;cm^{-1}$ over $1400^{\circ}C$ represent the TO and LO mode of the bulk $\beta$-SiC, respectively. In XRD spectra, this result was also verified with the strongest (111) peaks at $2{\theta}=35.7^{\circ}$, which is very close to (111) plane peak position of 3C-SiC over $1400 ^{\circ}C$ TEM images are represented to two typical $\beta$-SiC NWs structures. One is shown the defect-free $\beta$-SiC nanowire with a (111) interplane distance with 0.25 nm, and the other is the stacking-faulted $\beta$-SiC nanowire. Two SiC nanowires are covered with $SiO_2$ layer with a thickness of less 2 nm. Moreover, by changing the flow rate of methane gas, the 300 sccm is the optimal condition for synthesis of a large amount of $\beta$-SiC NWs.
