Transmission electron micrograph of the interface between the graphite constructing a carbon nanotube and β-SiC on the surface of (111) β-SiC. Lower panel: Schematic of the orientation relationship between one [111] SiC plane, on which carbon nanotubes are standing perpendicularly, and the other [111] SiC planes.
