title: A route to rapid carbon nanotube growth.
abstract: CNTs were synthesized in 15-20 seconds by a single carbon fiber initiating the pyrolysis of ferrocene under microwave field without any other chemicals. The growth of CNTs can also be triggered by other carbonaceous materials and influenced by their configurations.
