Formation of clusters of carbon structures in plasma under thermal destruction of graphite

Abstract

This article is devoted to the consideration of areas of formation of linear clusters of C−C, C=C, and C−C=C carbon bonds based on a numerical simulation of the plasma arc fusion method. The data on average velocities of carbon ions in plasma for different modes of synthesis of carbon nanostructures are obtained. A simplified mechanism for the formation of linear clusters of space multimolecular carbon nanostructures is proposed.
