The vapor-grown carbon fibers (VGCFs) by the CCVD method are characterized as with highly preferred orientation of their graphitic basal plane parallel to the fiber axis and with annular ring texture in the cross section (5).
In the case of carbons, namely graphite, the phonon transfer is anisotropic because of the different bonding mechanisms for the in-plane or basal plane carbon atoms (the <a> plane direction, covalent bonding) and the between-basal-plane bonding (the <c> plane, van der Waals bonding), with the most efficient conduction occurring in the basal plane direction (ref.
Processing temperatures have a strong effect on the degree of basal plane texture (ZnO has a hexagonal crystal structure); therefore accurate monitoring of this texture would constitute a valuable diagnostic for film quality assessment.
