Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper presents analysis of structural changes in powders consisting of turbostratic carbon spheres with an average particle diameter of 250 and 25 nm after high-temperature, high-pressure processing at a pressure of 8 GPa. It has been shown that marked ordering of graphene sheets is observed at 1300°C and actively proceeds at higher temperatures. The major morphological species in the samples after processing is slabs of graphene sheets, and three-dimensional structural perfection is higher at the smaller particle size. Using high-resolution electron microscopy, samples of this powder were shown to contain diamond nanocrystallites.
