Abstract

The steps in the interlayer spacing observed in annealing studies of artificial carbons on the one hand, and those seen in fast-neutron irradiation and grinding of graphite on the other hand, are shown to demonstrate the existence of interstitial carbon atoms between the aromatic planes of carbon atoms, sp2 bonded as in the graphite-crystal structure. The steps are analogous to staging in graphite intercalation compounds.
