Mm. Tomishko et al., Charge evolution on the surface of a nickel catalyst during the formation of fibrous carbon from methane, THEOR F CH, 33(4), 1999, pp. 370-373
It was experimentally found that the formation of fibrous carbon from metha
ne is accompanied by the evolution of charge on the surface of a nickel cat
alyst. A mechanism of charged particle generation is proposed.
