Structural studies of carbon soot films

The results of structural (SEM, TEM, ED and XRD) studies of carbon soot films synthesized by graphite are welding technique have depicted that these films are comprising of an assembly of micro-crystalline clusters of different sizes along with amorphous carbon dust. It is worthwhile to mention over here that the sizes and their concentration of micro-crystalline clusters are influenced by the film growth conditions. SEM, TEM, ED and XRD studies have shown that micro-crystalline clusters are having hexagonal symmetry.
