Abstract

Single‐walled carbon‐nanotube (SWCNT) arrays are generated on catalyst patterns with controlled location, orientation, and spacing using a straightforward approach. Dip‐pen nanolithography is used to fabricate catalyst patterns with sub‐70 nm resolution, and SWCNTs are successfully grown on these patterns through chemical vapor deposition. The growth direction of the SWCNTs on quartz is controlled, and along the [100] crystallographic direction. © 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
