Preferred Label : graphitic carbon;
IUPAC definition : All varieties of substances consisting of the element carbon in the allotropic form
of graphite irrespective of the presence of structural defects.;
Scope note : the use of the term graphitic carbon is justified if three-dimensional hexagonal crystalline
long-range order can be detected in the material by diffraction methods, independent
of the volume fraction and the homogeneity of distribution of such crystalline domains.
otherwise, the term non-graphitic carbon should be used.;
Origin ID : G02689;
