Beginning in mid-February 2008, the 1997-2007 online version of the Science Watch® newsletter, ESI-Topics.com, and in-cites.com, will all be featured together on the redesigned ScienceWatch.com. All previous content from the three sites will be permanently archived, and remain accessible from any existing bookmarks to the archived pages. No new content will be added to this site. Updates and new content (updated biweekly) are available at ScienceWatch.com now.

Hot Paper in Chemistry

"Synthesis of large arrays of well-aligned carbon nanotubes on glass," by Z.F. Ren, Z.P. Huang, J.W. Xu, J.H. Wang, P. Bush, M.P. Siegal, P.N. Provencio," Science, 282(5391):1105-7, 6 November 1998.

Abstract: "Free-standing aligned carbon nanotubes have previously been grown above 700 degrees C on mesoporous silica embedded with iron nanoparticles. Here, carbon nanotubes aligned over areas up to several square centimeters were grown on nickel-coated glass below 666 degrees C by plasma-enhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition. Acetylene gas was used as the carbon source and ammonia gas was used as a catalyst and dilution gas. Nanotubes with controllable diameters from 20 to 400 nanometers and lengths from 0.1 to 50 micrometers were obtained. Using this method, large panels of aligned carbon nanotubes can be made under conditions that are suitable for device fabrication."

This 1998 report from Science was cited 16 times in current journal articles indexed in the ISI database during July-August 2000. Only two other chemistry papers published in the last two years (aside from reviews) collected more citations during that two-month period. Prior to the most recent bimonthly count, citations to the paper have accrued as follows:

May-June 2000: 12 citations
March-April 2000: 7
January-February 2000: 6
November-December 1999: 6
September-October 1999: 4
July-August 1999: 5
May-June 1999: 5
January-February 1999: 2

Total citations to date: 63

SOURCE: Hot Papers Database (Available from the ISI Research Services Group in a CD-ROM version containing data on hundreds of highly cited papers published during the last two years. User interface permits searching by author, organization, journal, field, and more. Total citations, as well as citations accrued during successive bimonthly periods, can be assessed and graphed. Database is combined with subscription to the ISI newsletter Science Watch®; updated discs containing the most recent bimonthly data are mailed with each new issue, six times a year.)
