Rough diamond : Chemical‐vapor‐deposition‐based synthesis of carbon within the pores of track‐etched mica membranes yields carbon nanotubes with a diamond‐shaped cross section. The nanotubes are characterized by an equivalent outside diameter (see image) and an equivalent inside diameter; the equivalent outside diameter can be varied by varying the equivalent pore diameter in the mica template. The equivalent inside diameter can be varied by varying the carbon deposition time.
