## Description

- description: 'Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), two representative
    one-dimensional (1D) graphitic materials, have attracted tremendous research interests
    due to their promising applications for future high-performance nanoelectronics.
    Although various methods have been developed for fabrication of GNRs or CNTs,
    a unified method allowing controllable synthesis of both of them, as well as their
    heterojunctions, which could largely benefit for their nano-electronic applications,
    is still lacking. Here, we report on a generic growth of 1D carbon using nanoparticles
    catalyzed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on atomically flat hexagonal boron nitride
    (h-BN) substrates. Relative ratio of the yielded GNRs and CNTs is able to be arbitrarily
    tuned by varying the growth temperature or feeding gas pressures.  The tunability
    of the generic growth is quantitatively explained by a competitive nucleation
    theory: nucleation into either GNRs or CNTs by the catalysts is determined by
    the free energy of their formation, which is controlled by growth conditions.
    Under the guidance of the theory, we further realized growth of GNR/CNT intramolecular
    junctions through changing H2 partial pressures during a single growth process.
    Our study provides not only a universal and controllable method for growing 1D
    carbon nanostructures, but also a deep understanding of their growth mechanism,
    which could largely benefit for future carbon-based electronics and optoelectronics. '
