Abstract

The analytical relations for the prediction of the structural phase transformations of carbon in cylindrical graphite conductors induced by high-powered current pulses are obtained theoretically. The parameters of the electric circuit and the size of the conductor that are optimal for the synthesis of fullerenes and nanodiamonds are determined. The reliability of the proposed algorithm for selecting the parameters of the electric circuit and the size of the conductor is confirmed experimentally.
