• -film transistor performance. Chirality selective growth. The synthesis of SWCNTs with specific chiralities is currently a very active research field. This section reviews the reports on the chirality selective growth of SWCNTs and discusses the growth mechanism of nanotubes. In 2003, Bachilo and co

• prevented the aggregation of particles and ensured a perpendicular growth mode. As a result, the grown SWCNTs had a very narrow diameter distribution centered at 1.7 nm and high content of semiconducting fraction of >95%. The range of band gaps of SWCNTs was <0.08 eV. They demonstrated an excellent thin
