The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Solid state growth mechanisms for carbon nanotubes (2007, background): “On the basis of these observations, and of previous studies [ 42 ], Kataura and colleagues proposed a model for SWCNT growth which is generally similar to the Geohegan mechanism, but which emphasises the key role played by fullerene-like carbon fragments in nucleating growth.”
Laser mode locking using a saturable absorber incorporating carbon nanotubes (2004, background): “By careful control of the furnace temperature and the adoption of specific catalysts with appropriate relative concentrations in the carbon target, diameter-selective SWNTs can be grown [17].”
Energy Requirements of Carbon Nanoparticle Production (2008, background): “Modulation of the laser can select the diameter of nanotubes as well (Kataura et al. 2000), potentially opening a route toward chiral-selective nanotube production, which could enable a host of new electrical and semiconducting applications.”
