METHOD OF GENERATING ONION FULLERENE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of generating an onion fullerene of which the particle diameter is large, the generating time is short, the cost is low and the friction coefficient is excellent. SOLUTION: An onion fullerene generating apparatus has an infrared lamp at the outside of a vacuum chamber. In the vacuum chamber a graphite crucible as a black body is assembled. The diamond fine powder which has the specified particle diameter is packed in the crucible and heated by the infrared lamp and then the onion fullerene is generated. The diamond fine powder is heated to approximately at least 1700 deg.C an inert gas in a stream of as an atmospheric gas.
