Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent study of carbon nanotubes (CNT),the method to synthesize carbon nanotubes from amorphous carbon via Fe nanoparticles had been found, which is called solid-liquid-solid (SLS) mechanism. By applying this mechanism, we propose a new processing method of diamonds. The purpose of this study is to fabricate plasma generator enhanced hot filament and to research phase-change from diamond to graphite. First, DC plasma generator was fabricated. Hydrogen plasma was observed by using this equipment. The hydrogen positive column was most clearly observed, when the conditions were follows: ballast resistance was 600Ω, distance between electrodes was 20 mm and gas pressure was 0.2 kPa. Second, the phase-change from amorphous carbon to graphite using Fe catalyst nanoparticles was investigated to confirm the performance of the equipment. The phase change from amorphous carbon to graphite was confirmed with Raman spectroscopy and FE-SEM.
