The CCNFs were grown on Ni/SiO2/Si and Ni/Mo mesh substrates using a bias-enhanced growth method, and they were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The cones are composed of cylindrical pure graphite sheets, and have nanometer-sized tips and roots. The tips’ apex angles of CCNFs have cone angles of 20°, 39°, and 60° depending on the growth conditions such as substrate temperature., application/pdf}, pages = {2886--2888}, title = {Corn-shape carbon nanofibers with dense graphite synthesized by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition}, volume = {84}, year = {2004} }
