Abstract

The process of formation and growth of carbon protrusions of various shapes up to 0.3 mm in size on the surface of graphite samples kept at a temperature of ~3 kK for ~103 s in argon at a pressure of ~50 kPa is described. Possible mechanisms for the formation of protrusions (spherules) are discussed; it is assumed that an important role in these processes can be played by the emission of carbon microparticles from the sample.
