The present invention discloses single-walled carbon nanotubes horizontal arrays with ultra-high density and the preparation method. The method comprises the following steps: loading a catalyst on a single crystal growth substrate; after annealing, introducing hydrogen into a chemical vapor deposition system to conduct a reduction reaction of the catalyst; and maintaining the introduction of the hydrogen to conduct the orientated growth of a single-walled carbon nanotube. The density of the ultra-high density single-walled carbon nanotube horizontal array obtained by this method exceeds 130 tubes/micrometer, and an electrical performance test is performed on the prepared ultra-high density single-walled carbon nanotube horizontal array shows a high on-current density of 380 μA/μm, and the transconductance of 102.5 μS/μm.

A biomedical implant (16, 18) is formed from magnesium (Mg) single crystal (10). The biomedical implant (16, 18) may be biodegradable. The biomedical implant (16, 18) may be post treated to control the mechanical properties and/or corrosion rate thereof said Mg single crystal (10) without changing the chemical composition thereof. A method of making a Mg single crystal (10) for biomedical applications includes filling a single crucible (12) with more than one chamber with polycrystalline Mg, melting at least a portion of said polycrystalline Mg, and forming more than one Mg single crystal (10) using directional solidification.

A method for producing an array or bed of metallic nanotubes includes formation of nanowires made from sacrificial material on a growth support, deposition of a metal layer on the nanowires so as to form metallic nanotubes concentric with the nanowires, deposition of a polymer binding layer between the nanowires, elimination of the support, the binding layer supporting the metallic nanotubes, and etching of the sacrificial material.

The present embodiments relate to a method for manufacturing a two-dimensional material using a top-down method, the method includes the steps of preparing a bulk crystal, forming a metal layer on the bulk crystal, and then attaching a thermal release tape on the metal layer, exfoliating a two-dimensional material to which the metal layer and the thermal release tape have been attached from the bulk crystal, transferring the two-dimensional material to which the metal layer and the thermal release tape have been attached onto a substrate, and removing the thermal release tape and the metal layer from the substrate onto which the two-dimensional material has been transferred.

A method of producing graphene or other two-dimensional material such as graphene including heating the substrate held within a reaction chamber to a temperature that is within a decomposition range of a precursor, and that allows two-dimensional crystalline material formation from a species released from the decomposed precursor; establishing a steep temperature gradient (preferably >1000° C. per meter) that extends away from the substrate surface towards an inlet for the precursor; and introducing precursor through the relatively cool inlet and across the temperature gradient towards the substrate surface. The steep temperature gradient ensures that the precursor remains substantially cool until it is proximate the substrate surface thus minimizing decomposition or other reaction of the precursor before it is proximate the substrate surface. The separation between the precursor inlet and the substrate is less than 100 mm.
