Abstract

Carbon nanofibers could be selectively formed at the groove area of the MgO substrate using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. Iridium metal was used as a catalyst layer for the formation of the carbon nanofibers. The growth direction of the carbon nanofibers was vertical to the substrate surface. The selectively grown iridium-catalyzed carbon nanofibers show around $1.8V/{\mu}m$ turn-on voltage and $1.0\;mA/cm^2$ field emission current density at $2.65\;V/{\mu}m$ in the field emission measurement.
