ARC DISCHARGE IN SYNTHESIS OF FULLERENES

UDC 533.9:537.525.5

For the first time, under fullerene synthesis conditions 
a  quasiperiodic  space-time  structure  of  the arc and 
a  correlation  of  plasma  brightness  pulsations  with 
the change in the electrical parameters of the discharge 
are found, which can  be  attributable  to  superheating 
instability and unsteady transfer of carbon particles to 
the plasma. The mechanism of cathode  coating  formation 
is discussed.  The spatial distribution of the radiation 
of the spectral components  of the arc plasma is studied 
and radial  temperature  profiles  are  determined  that 
presumably belong to the steady mode of discharge.
