Q-Carbon: A New, Inexpensive and Affordable Diamond in Everyones Hand
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Q-carbon is an allotrope of carbon, discovered in 2015, it is ferromagnetic, electrically conductive, and sometimes it glows when exposed to low levels of energy. It is quite inexpensive to make, and may be it is a replacement of diamond because it is the hardest substance like diamonds. According to researchers, Q-carbon exhibits a random amorphous structure that is a mix of 3-way (sp2) and 4-way (sp3) bonding, rather than the uniform sp3 bonding found in diamonds. Carbon is melted using nanosecond laser pulses, then quenched rapidly to form Q-carbon, or a mixture of Q-carbon and diamond. Q-carbon can be made to take multiple forms, from nanoneedles to large-area diamond films. Few of the researchers are also able to create nano size diamond and organize them for a variety of potential applications, ranging from nano sensing and quantum computing to biomarkers.
