Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed for fabricating carbon nanotubes or carbon nanotube hybrid structures. The apparatus comprises a treatment chamber having a treatment zone for receiving a starting material containing carbon atoms, the starting material providing at least one electrode of the apparatus. A plasma generator supplies a plasma generating radiation to the treatment zone of the treatment chamber so that, in use, a localised electric discharge is created which is conductable along a path comprising at least part of a surface of the starting material, to cause vaporisation of carbon atoms along the path. A method of creating carbon nanotubes and hybrid structures is also disclosed using the above-mentioned apparatus.
