Carbon nanoparticles in the radiation field of the stationary arc discharge

Abstract

The paper considers a simple theoretical model of heating the nanoparticles, depending on their size and the parameters of the radiating arc and the surrounding gas. This problem is of interest to diagnostics and modeling of the dynamics of the nanoparticles formation and their local size distribution. Heating of nanoparticles by the radiation can affect the process of synthesis. The degree of heating of the particle is determined by its geometry, which opens, apparently, additional possibilities for nonintrusive optical diagnostics.
