Graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The lattice constants for both materials were determined and agree well with our computational calculation results. When preparing carbon nanotubes for AFM characterization, three solvents chloroform, toluene and ethanol were used. Chloroform was found to be the best solvent. The diameter of single-walled carbon nanotubes were determined and agree well with literature.
