Abstract

We describe the controlled synthesis and directed assembly of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers. Using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process described here, we demonstrate exquisite control of nanofiber diameter, height, placement, shape, orientation, and chemical composition. We demonstrate the utility of this process by showing several types of devices constructed using nanofibers.
