Abstract
Novel carbon nanorods (NRs) were observed as a by-product during the purifi cation of carbon nanotubes (NTs) produced by an are discharge process. The carbon NRs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transm ission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction analysis. The ele ctron diffraction data show that the graphite layers run parallel to the lo ng axis of carbon NRs. A possible growth mechanism is discussed based on a modified Gamaly and Ebbesen model.
