冈山大学:村冈研究组

在世界上,我们第一次成功地生产了一种极难生产的新型碳材料,即Q碳。

它还为建立生产Q碳的方法提供了指导。

研究结果发表在2020年6月25日的科学杂志“ Carbon”的电子版上。

Q碳:

这是2015年报道的一种新型碳同素异形体。

室温铁磁性,
发光能量少
硬度超过钻石,
硼掺杂引起的超导性(添加)
它表现出独特的特性。

常规:不生产Q碳

使用激光可以通过非常短的过程生产Q碳。

但是,其生产极为困难。

到目前为止,除发现者集团外,没有其他制造Q碳的实例。

这次:第一次生产Q碳

这次,研究小组开发了使用纳秒激光的制造工艺。

尤其是,我们针对冷却程度进行了一项实验。

生产结果:

我们通过“严格控制熔融碳的淬火程度”成功生产了Q碳。

要制造Q碳,

Formation of Q-carbon by adjusting sp3 content in diamond-like carbon films and laser energy density of pulsed laser annealing

Abstract

In this study, we prepared Q-carbon by adjusting the sp3 content in diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and the laser energy density of pulsed laser annealing (PLA).

The amorphous DLC films

were fabricated on sapphire Al2O3(0001) substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique with a KrF excimer laser (λ = 248 nm).

The sp3 content in the films

varied between 20% and 42% by changing the laser energy density. Subsequently, PLA was performed on the DLC films by using the KrF excimer laser with energy densities between 0.5 and 1.2 J/cm2.

The prepared films

were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and magnetization measurements.

Consequently, for the combination of 20% sp3 content and laser density of 1.0 J/cm2, as well as 42% sp3 and 0.5 J/cm2,

the films showed the characteristic features of Q-carbon:

filamentary nanostructures, the presence of a T band in the Raman spectrum, room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior, and ∼80% sp3 content.

The results indicate that Q-carbon

can be obtained by using a proper combination of sp3 content in DLC films and an appropriate PLA energy density.

This study provides important guidance for establishing a preparation method for Q-carbon.
