Abstract We report on the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) solid nanostructures and ordered microarrays consisting of nanowires and carbon nanotubes. For 1D nanostructures, several synthesis methods, such as, carbothermal reduction of silica xerogels containing carbon nanoparticles, chemical vapor deposition on mesoporous active carbon with transition metal catalyst nanoparticles inside the pores, and simple physical evaporation with the help of transition metal nanoparticles as catalysts, have been used. For microarrays, anodic alumina membranes (AAMs) with highly ordered honeycomb structure were used as templates, chemical vapor reaction inside the nanochannels, Sol-gel technique, and selective electrodeposition in the channels, have been used to prepare microarrays embedded in AAMs.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
