The electric arc is one of the promising high temperature synthesis processes of carbon nanotubes. It offers the advantage to allow performing in-situ substitution of carbon atoms by hetero-elements in the graphene lattice. Our work aims to establish a correlation between the plasma properties, type and chemical composition of the obtained carbon nanotubes. This will allow getting a better understanding of the phenomena involved in the nanotube growth and substitution mechanisms.
