Abstract
The yield and size distribution of single-wall carbon nanotubes were i nvestigated on samples prepared by are discharge between graphite elec trodes in a Iie atmosphere with the positive electrode filled with mix tures of 2 metallic elements. Fe and Ni. The yield exhibits irs maximu m if the ratio of Fe to Ni is 1, and. concurrently, the distribution o f the tube diameter is narrowest. The average diameter is found ro bz independent of the ratio and is about nm.
