Abstract

Nano spherical iron compounds particles produced by spark-erosion using kerosene as dielectric were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analyzed by X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The observed material was formed by spherical particles of carbon compounds whose size belong to a specific distribution, with a mean value of about 37 nm and their crystallites belonging to a size distribution whose mean value is about 6 nm.
