12. The spread of diameters of the nanorods prepared on the basis of the carbon nanotubes has also been observed in preparing SiC nanorods [see (6)], where a simple model has been suggested to explain this phenomenon. The model may also be helpful in explaining the spread of diameters of the GaN nanorods.
