Carbon Microstructures Synthesis in Low Temperature Plasma Generated by Microdischarges

Non-Catalytic, Low-Temperature Synthesis of Carbon Nanofibers by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition

Low-temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition of carbon nanotubes

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were selectively grown at temperatures as low as 120 8C by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition. We investigated the effects of acetylene, ethylene and methane as carbon source gases together with ammonia as an etchant and nickel as catalyst material. The diluted acetylene plasma gave the highest nanotube growth rate and showed the most intense C Swan b...

Decontamination effects of low-temperature plasma generated by corona discharge. Part I: an overview.

The first part of this article is devoted to a minireview of basic terms of plasma physics and chemistry described in a way understandable even to nonspecialists in the field. Among the methods of generation of low-temperature plasma, the unipolar electric corona discharge in air at atmospheric pressure is described in more detail. Selected studies are mentioned that concern the decontamination...

Low temperature plasma synthesis of silicon nanocrystals for photonic applications

THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND MAGNESIUM SIZE ON LOW TEMPERATURE MAGNESIOTHERMIC SYNTHESIS OF NANO STRUCTURES BORON CARBIDE BY MESOPOROUS CARBON (CMK-1)

In this study, Boron carbide was synthesized using Mesoporous Carbon CMK-1, Boron oxide, and magnesiothermic reduction process. The Effects of temperature and magnesium grain size on the formation of boron carbide were studied using nano composite precurser containg mesoporous carbon. Samples were leached in 2M Hydrochloric acid to separate Mg, MgO and magnesium-borat phases. SEM, XRD and Xray ...
