Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a tubular carbon molecule, the method comprising: a catalyst arranging step of arranging a metal having a catalyst function for a tubular carbon molecule through use of melting by a modulated heat distribution; a melting step of applying a modulated heat distribution to a surface of a material substrate including a second material as an additive in a first material so as to melt the surface of the material substrate; and a depositing step of depositing the second material in a position corresponding to the heat distribution through dissipating the heat of the surface of the material substrate; in the depositing step, a projection is formed on the surface of the material substrate through dissipating heat of the surface of the material substrate, and the second material is deposited on at least a tip portion of the projection.
