One-dimensionality in glassy carbon

Nanocrystalline hexagonal diamond formed from glassy carbon

Carbon exhibits a large number of allotropes and its phase behaviour is still subject to significant uncertainty and intensive research. The hexagonal form of diamond, also known as lonsdaleite, was discovered in the Canyon Diablo meteorite where its formation was attributed to the extreme conditions experienced during the impact. However, it has recently been claimed that lonsdaleite does not ...

A simple one dimensional glassy Kac model

We define a new family of random spin models with one-dimensional structure, finite-range multi-spin interactions, and bounded average degree (number of interactions in which each spin participates). Unfrustrated ground states can be described as solutions of a sparse, band diagonal linear system, thus allowing for efficient numerical analysis. In the limit of infinite interaction range, we rec...

Glassy carbon: a potential dental implant material.

Fabrication and Characterization of Glassy Carbon MEMS

This paper describes the fabrication of free-standing high-carbon microstructures by softlithographic techniques; these structures ranged in complexity from simple beams to complex, suspended deflectors. Microstructures of polymeric precursors (copolymers of furfuryl alcohol-phenol) to high-carbon solids were fabricated using poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) molds. Carbonization of these microstru...
