Electron Diffraction And Microscopy

  • Chapter
Carbyne and Carbynoid Structures

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures ((PCMALS,volume 21))

Abstract

Electron microscopy and electron diffraction have proved to be the most appropriate techniques for investigating the crystal structure and microstructure of carbyne crystals because of the crystal size range. Carbyne was first identified in meteorites by electron diffraction. With the synthesis of carbynes, electron microscopy and electron diffraction have proved to be important techniques in identifying these materials and comparing carbynes prepared by different methods. These techniques have also proved useful in investigating the effects of annealing, electron irradiation and ion irradiation. On the basis of electron diffraction data a number of models for the crystal structure of carbynes have been developed. In one model it is proposed that kinks occur in the carbon chains. The existence of these kinks can explain the lamellar nature of carbyne crystals observed in electron micrographs. A number of suggestions have been advanced to explain the occurrence of these kinks including the application of paracrystalline theory and the existence of charge-density soliton waves in the one dimensional carbon chain.
