An onion-like graphite 2 is produced by irradiating an electron beam to impinge upon an amorphous carbon 3 under an active aluminium nanoparticle 1. By further irradiating the electron beam upon the onion-like graphite 2 to intercalate aluminium atoms which are a constituent of the aluminium nanoparticle 1 within a space between the (001) plane and the (002) plane of the onion-like graphite 2 having a layer structure, an intercalation compound 4 is produced. Alternatively, after the aluminium nanoparticles have been disposed on the onion-like graphite and impinged thereupon by an electron beam by further irradiating the electron beam to intercalate aluminium atoms in the space between the (001) plane and the (002) plane of the onion-like graphite having a layer structure, the intercalation compounds can be produced. <IMAGE> |
