摘要
Initial growth of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) from Ni catalyst seed in the range of 40 to 100 nm as fabricated using hole-mask colloidal lithography on to p of reacatively sputtered TiN is studied. We observe that the initial growth conditions could cause a growth mode transition from base-type to tip-type. We attribute this transition to a change in the crystallographic orientation of the Ni catalyst seeds induced by initial growth conditions. A convenient method to deposit stoichiometeric TiN films is also presented. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
