摘要
New nanomaterials have been prepared by high- temperature treatment of fullerite C-60 at moderate ( 0.1 - 1.5 GPa) pressures attainable for large- volume pressure apparatus. The structure, EELS spectra, Raman spectra, hardness and elastic moduli of these carbon substances have been studied. The materials have a high ( 90%) elastic recovery, fairly high hardness H similar to 10 - 15 GPa and record values of the hardness- to- Young- modulus ratio H/ E similar to 0.22. The observed hardness is close to the ` ideal' limit, which is associated with the nanostructure of the materials. This structure represents a combination of interlinked curved fragments of C-60 molecules and nanographite nuclei.
