โฆ Synopsis
The electron spin resonance in nearly amorphous carbon has been studied. Amorphous carbon was produced by arc evaporation of spectroscopic pure graphite in argon atmosphere. Carbon deposits were collected and measurements performed without exposing samples to the air, as well as after admission of air. Original unexposed deposits show a lower spin concentration and a broader line than after exposure to air, evacuation and outgassing. Strong differences are observed between the behavior of original and of outgassed carbons during heat treatment. A g-anisotropy was found in flakes of deposit. For a single flake g/l -2.0023 and gl=2*0014 at a 2.6 G line width has heen observed.
