Iron particles nesting in carbon cages grown by arc discharge

Fine particles of iron and iron carbide wrapped in multilayered graphitic sheets, which were synthesized by arc discharge of carbon rods containing iron oxide (Fe 2O 3), were studied by transmission electron microscopy. The size of the wrapped particles was typically in the range 20–200 nm. Two kind...

Description
Summary:Fine particles of iron and iron carbide wrapped in multilayered graphitic sheets, which were synthesized by arc discharge of carbon rods containing iron oxide (Fe 2O 3), were studied by transmission electron microscopy. The size of the wrapped particles was typically in the range 20–200 nm. Two kinds of nested materials were found; one was α-Fe and the other, Fe 3C (cementite).
