Onion-like particles composed of concentric spherical graphitic shells have been obtained by irradiating diamond crystals with 200 keV electrons. The onion-like structures were found to be producible only in intense electron beams with an irradiation flux density of about l07 electrons/nm 2 s or gre
The possibility of a general multifold class of novel allotropic forms of carbon is suggested. They consist of cubic or hexagonal diamond blocks or layers interconnected by blocks or layers of "graphitic" strips. Some simple consequences are noted with special attention to the possibility of electri
