STUDY ON THE CATHODE DEPOSIT PRODUCED IN THE PROCESS OF CARBON ARC DISCHARGE

The cathode deposit produced by carbon are discharge wae studied by scanning electron microscopy, high resolution electroa microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate that the stacking of hexagonal carbon layer in the discharged graphite is different from the ABAB stacking sequence in graphite, and that carboy nanotube is a kind of graphite-like micro-crystal with a low-dimensional structure.
