York). A simple model of the deposition of pyrolytic carbon is proposed to explain the apparent inconsistencies between properties and structure. This model considers the importance of the nucleation rate, diffusion, and surface reactions and is based on structure determinations by density and stres

β¦ Synopsis
When
surface carbons are produced by the pyrolysis of gaseous hydrocarbons in a silica tube heated to about lOOO"C, spectrographic analysis shows the presence of up to 1% silicon even when the carbon is deposited on a metal substrate. It seems likely that hydrocarbon radicals react with silica to produce volatile organo-silicon species. As a result, silicon eventually becomes incorporated in the solid carbon, although neither the free element nor silicon carbide appear to be formed. Consideration of the present and previous results indicates that the chemical reactivity of silica surfaces needs to be taken into account in studies of pyrolytic deposition and of catalysis at high temperatures.

a-Boron-containing pyrocarbons were prepared at temperatures 1400-1650Β°C by simultaneous pyrolytic deposition from gas mixtures containing CH, and BCI, on an induction heated graphite substrate. The deposits thus prepared with boron content in the range O-3 per cent (w/o) were investigated using X-r
