Synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (C-SWNTs) with a plasma torch: a parametric study.
TL;DR: Although the yields of C-SWNTs in the experiments reported here are somewhat lower than other approaches, the method provides results that are qualitatively similar to those obtained using arc and laser techniques: C- SWNTs mixed with catalyst nanoparticles and amorphous carbon.

Solutal Benard-Marangoni instability as a growth mechanism for single-walled carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, a new growth mechanism for bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (C-SWNTs) is proposed based on the Benard-Marangoni instability.
