Synthesis of Allotropic Forms of Carbon in a Laser Experiment: 1D–3D Topological Configurations with Carbon Nanotubes and Diamond-Like Systems

Abstract

The problems of synthesis of various allotropic forms of carbon under a laser impact on a carbon-containing target under the conditions of nonequilibrium phase transitions have been considered. The results of studies of the processes of controlled design of certain topological configurations of metal-carbon and diamond-like compounds in a laser experiment with laser ablation and by modeling the 1D–3D structures with a modifyable fractal dimension have been presented. The measurements of the optical and electrophysical characteristics of such structures have been discussed in terms of the possibility of controlling their functional properties.
