Abstract

The anisotropic properties of a layer of carbon nanotubes upon electron reflection have been studied. Only a small part of the incident electrons is found to reflect from a target with a surface layer of oriented carbon nanotubes. Reflection occurs only from a layer of horizontally oriented nanotubes at an angle of incidence greater than 80° and vertically oriented nanotubes at an angle of incidence less than 10°. The effect is explained by peculiarities of the formation of an electron flux in the surface layers of the target.
