1. Queries at the Web of Science (http://www.isiknowledge.com) snowed that the following numbers of articles have been published on the topic of '"chemical vapo*r deposition' AND 'carbon nanotube*'", in the publication years given in parantheses: 275 (2002), 398 (2003), 440 (2004), 489 (2005), and 608 (2006). The topics '"arc discharge' AND 'carbon nanotube*" and '"laser ablation' AND 'carbon nanotube*'" returned 360 and 199 publications, respectively, for the whole five-year period. The majority of the counted publications are concerned with aspects other than the growth process, but the numbers are arguably good reflections of the availability and the popularity of CVD-grown CNTs.
