Alumina templates are used to assist the deposition of highly ordered polycrystalline diamond nanocylinders (see Figure) and diamond‐like carbon nanotubes. The growth of diamond is carried out by microwave plasma‐assisted CVD, using acetone as the carbon source. The dimensions of the nanofibers are easily controllable and this technique could be adopted to prepare arrays for various applications.
