โœฆ Synopsis

In order to investigate what might be the composition and optical properties of particles that could lead to a "nuclear winter," a search has been made for particles that had been generated in urban fire storms. Deposits containing small amounts of graphite have been found on an artifact from the Hiroshima fire storm. The fire storm was initiated on August 6, 1945, by the atomic bomb detonation. The particles were rained out of the atmosphere in the "black rain" that commenced following the urban fire storm. Initial studies using electron microscopy have revealed that the particles consist of a mixture of clay and amorphous sooty carbon. Scanning electron photomicrographs have suggested the presence of graphite. Its presence has been confirmed using laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS), surface ionization mass spectroscopy (SIMS), and electron scattering for chemical analysis (ESCA). Significant amounts of the sooty material consists of clay, and the graphite is probably present as short-range ordered structure in sooty microspheres. The results of this study are presented with a discussion of conditions that may lead to graphite formation.

## Abstract In late December 1996, the South Fork Payette River basin in westโ€central Idaho experienced a prolonged storm that culminated on January 1, 1997, with intense rain on melting snow that triggered slide failures, producing debris flows and sedimentโ€charged floods.

Graphite is a by-product of the calcium cyanamide process. This fairly well-crystallized graphite is described, it has an interlayer spacing of 335,8pm. The probable formation mechanism of well-ordered graphite at temperatures of 1W4150"C is discussed. Very likely, less organized carbon of higher th

Studies have been made of the reorganization of carbon deposited on cobalt, nickel and iron. Well oriented films of graphite can be prepared by dissolving amorphous carbon in cobalt and nickel at high temperatures, the film being produced by precipitation on cooling. Carbidic intermediates do not ap
