THE FORMATION OF ONE DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE IN MONOATOMIC LAYER ON GRAPHITE SURFACE

Abstract

On the basis of experimental data on the assumption that the collective nature of the formation of atomically smooth surface of graphite simulated linear dimensional chains in the surface monolayer of graphite. In the transition from linear chains of short to longer transition from the formation of double bonds between the carbon atoms to alternating single and triple bonds. The simulation results of single and triple bonds are confirmed by experimental data for the long chains resulting carbyne, which also is an alternation of single and triple carbon-carbon bonds. There is formation of groups or clusters of carbon atoms along the chain axis of asymmetry due to single and triple bonds between carbon atoms in long chains.
