摘要
We synthesized sp(3)-rich crystalline tubular structures, referred to as diamond nanotubes (DNTs), by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition and characterized them using SEM, TEM, EELS, and Raman spectroscopy. The images and spectra indicate the formation of DNTs with internal diameter of about 7-10 nm and external diameter of about 20-30 nm. During the fabrication process, CNTs form first and give way to the synthesis of DNTs. The DNTs show good field emission properties and enhanced temporal stability as compared to CNTs.
