Abstract

Compton scattering of γ-rays, XRD, TEM and Raman scattering were used to investigate the nanocrystalline graphite produced by mill grinding. The graphite ground for 4 and 8 hours has a typical nanostructure. Further grinding produces a mixture of nanocrystalline and amorphous phases. Compared with the polycrystalline graphite, the electron momentum distribution probability (EMD) of nanocrystalline graphite is a little higher in the low momentum range. We attribute such a change mainly to the high interface ratio and nanograined graphite.
