Abstract :
This paper reports the synthesis of carbon nanotube films on a flat substrate. The Fe catalyst is previously deposited on the substrate as a solid film with thickness reaching 10 nm. At the first stage of growth nanotubes pushed up the whole iron film but then due to the difference in the speed of growth, the catalyst film is broken to large patches.
