Single-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesised by the laser vaporisation of graphite composite targets in a tube furnace. Two pulsed Nd:YAG lasers operating at fundamental (1 064 nm) and 2nd harmonic (532 nm) were combined, focused and evaporated targets in an inert atmosphere of Ar flowing at 200 sccm at a pressure of 500 mBar. Furnace temperatures of either 1 200 or 1 000 0C were used. The targets were either pure graphite or graphite doped with catalysts. The as-evaporated material was collected and characterised by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy
