Abstract

A carbon nanostructure composed of an array of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a planar graphite layer (PGL) located at the top of the array has been fabricated by the injection CVD method. CNT-PGL structure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy analysis performed both on CNT-PGL and single PGL showed that PGL structure is similar to turbostratic graphite and most probably consists of disordered and randomly arranged graphene sheets. The calculated in-plane crystallite size of single PGL was 5.2 nm.
