Abstract

Researchers at the Weismann Institute of Science, Israel, observed patterns of carbon nanotubes that are formed along atomic steps on sapphire surfaces. The nanotubes form in the presence of a catalyst of iron nanoparticles, and are attracted to a local field created by the steps that develop in sapphire wafers produced by commercial processes.
