Special Section
Tailoring carbon nanoclusters to desired
morphologies
J. Jiao, S. Seraphin
(University of Arizona)
The
preparation and structural characterization of carbon nanoclusters of
different morphologies produced by three different methods and under a
variety of conditions is reported. In a comparative manner, the growth
phenomena and structural properties of carbon nanoclusters are
investigated as synthesized by a) the high temperature (~3000°C) and high
carbon-content process of the conventional arc-discharge, b) the high
temperature but low carbon-content process of the modified arc-discharge,
and finally c) the relatively low temperature (~500°C) process of Ni
catalytic disproportionation of carbon monoxide.
