Multiwall boron nitride (BN) nanotubes were synthesized by a novel physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, in which the BN nanotubes grow on a compact substrate composed of AlN, γ-AlO, YO, and carbon powders. The obtained BN nanotubes assemble in an orderly manner with a typical length of over one millimeter and a diameter of one-hundred nanometers. The hollow multiwall tubes have a spherical tip, which is presumed to be a liquid drop at the synthesis temperature, indicating the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism.
多壁氮化硼(BN)纳米管是通过一种新型物理气相沉积(PVD)方法合成的,其中BN纳米管在由AlN、γ-AlO、YO和碳粉组成的致密衬底上生长。所获得的BN纳米管有序组装,典型长度超过一毫米,直径为一百纳米。中空的多壁管具有球形尖端,据推测在合成温度下是液滴,这表明了气-液-固(VLS)生长机制。
