Abstract
The structure and properties of carbon materials formed in an arc between graphite electrodes in the case of decreased pressure of a buffer gas are considered. A mechanism of formation of a cathode coating by positively charged carbon macroparticles is proposed. The particles melt upon collision with the cathode surface and then the stage of growth of a coating from a liquid phase occurs.
