采用化学气相沉积法制备了螺旋碳纤维,通过XRD、EDX和SEM对样品进行了表征和分析,采用研磨方法考察了螺旋结构的破坏情况,并对比了研磨前后样品的低温磁性。结果表明,在有效去除催化剂的情况下,螺旋形貌被破坏以后,碳纤维的抗磁性信号增强。基于单电子受缚于螺旋线的物理模型对实验结果进行分析和讨论,认为螺旋形貌具有顺磁响应,并阐释了其产生机理。
The helical carbon fibers were fabricated using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and were characterized by XRD, EDX and SEM. The magnetic properties of helical carbon fibers were studied experimentally. The response to external magnetic field was tested by SQUID at 3K. It showed that the magnetization of helical carbon fiber response negatively to external magnetic field, and the diamagnetism of the carbon fibers without helical structure was stronger than helical carbon fibers. The observation of experiments indicated that paramagnetism was caused by helical structure. In addition, the mechanism of the magnetic property of helical structure was qualitative studied by the model of a free electron constrained on a helical coil. The results showed paramagnetism induced by electronic bro- ken-chirality in mesoseale can be realized in a helical structure.
