Cover Picture: Guided Growth of Large‐Scale, Horizontally Aligned Arrays of Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Their Use in Thin‐Film Transistors (Small 11/2005)

The cover picture illustrates a self‐aligned array of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) formed by chemical vapor deposition on a miscut single‐crystal quartz wafer. The background picture schematically illustrates aligned SWNTs on the quartz crystal surface. The top right image shows a scanning electron microscopy image of a dense array of aligned SWNTs. The top left image shows source and drain electrodes of a type of thin‐film transistor that uses an aligned array of SWNTs as the semiconducting material.

Rogers and co‐workers on page 1110 ff.
