Abstract

Carbon fibrous deposits grown in carbon dc electric arc at various buffer gas pressures and arc currents were investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The fibers contained in the deposits consisted of bundles of carbon tubes. It was found that yield and morphology were very sensitive to both parameters; sintering of the tubes could be prevented by adjusting buffer gas pressure for a given current. It is argued that these parameters control expansion of carbon gas and condensation rate, and therefore energy flow to the cathode. To purify samples by oxidation and to observe differences in resistance against oxidation of samples obtained at various conditions, the thermogravimetry method was used.
