Preferred Label : non-graphitic carbon;
IUPAC definition : All varieties of solids consisting mainly of the element carbon with two-dimensional
long-range order of the carbon atoms in planar hexagonal networks, but without any
measurable crystallographic order in the third direction ( i c /i -direction) apart
from more or less parallel stacking.;
Scope note : some varieties of non-graphitic carbon convert on heat treatment to graphitic carbon
(graphitizable carbon) but some others do not (non-graphitizable carbon).;
Origin ID : N04193;
