A system has been designed and constructed to produce diamond particles by inductively coupled radio-frequency, plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. This is a low-pressure, low-temperature process used in an attempt to deposit diamond on substrates of glass, quartz, silicon, nickel, and boron nitride. Several deposition parameters have been varied including substrate temperature, gas concentration, gas pressure, total gas flow rate, rf input power, and deposition time. Analytical methods employed to determine composition and structure of the deposits include scanning electron microscopy, absorption spectroscopy, scanning Auger microprobe spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Analysis indicates that particles having a thin graphite surface, as well as diamond particles with no surface coatings, have been deposited. Deposits on quartz have exhibited optical bandgaps as high as 4 5 eV. Scanning electron microscopy analysis shows that particles are deposited on a pedestal which Auger spectroscopy indicates to be graphite. This is a phenomenon that has not been previously reported in the literature.

The research outlined here includes a study of the production of carbon black (CB) in an inductive plasma reactor, using dodecane (C12H26) as the starting material. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies were carried out to predict the species concentrations likely to be obtained in the pyrolysis process at plasma temperatures. A thorough statistical experimental design was undertaken to investigate the influence of the different operational conditions such as: the feed rates of dodecane, the reactor pressure, the plate power applied to the plasma torch and the composition of the plasma gas, on the production of carbon black and gaseous acetylene-like compounds. Thermodynamic and kinetic models were compared with experimental results, a kinetic reaction model best representing the experimental results. Morphological analysis of the solid product using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) indicates that a high plasma temperature is the most important factor affecting the final morphology of the carbon black formed during the reaction. Carbon black with average particle size of 10-30 nm and specific surface of 130 m2/g was obtained. Morphological analyses also demonstrated the presence of new structures ranging from carbon black to fullerenes and including certain “graphitized” carbon molecules.
