Abstract

Carbon nanowires are formed on a surface of nanoparticles made of diamond-like carbon produced on a nickel plate placed in CH4-Ar plasma. The dissociation of CH4 is controlled by changing the mixing position of CH4 along the Ar plasma produced in a small coaxial tube electrode. When CH4 is introduced in low electron temperature T e region, we observed an appearance of nanowires on the surface of microparticles. On the other hand, carbon nanowalls and/or nanoplatelets are formed when the CH4 is mixed in the high Te region.
