Description
Summary:In this contribution application of Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HFCVD) technique for growth of the nanorods and nanocrystals was presented. Also the effects of temperature, time and the Co catalyst on the growth of nanorods and nanostructures were studied. Carbon nanostructures were doped by boron atoms to synthesize icosahedral boron carbide using HFCVD. The samples were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), dot mapping, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
