Extract

The carbon deposits on graphite electrodes formed during the electric discharge in a chamber used for fuUerene production contained nanotubules and fullerenes. X-ray and high resolution transmission electron microscopy investigation revealed that the deposits consisted of strongly deformed graphite microblocks. The nanotubules were found at boundaries of microblocks where carbon hexagonal planes were strongly distorted, suggesting that nanotubules were formed during atomic carbon condensation.
