Chapter 1 contains a review of carbon materials, and emphasizes the stmeture and chemical bonding in the various forms of carbon, including the foui" allotropes diamond, graphite, carbynes, and the fullerenes. In addition, amorphous carbon and diamond fihns, carbon nanoparticles, and engineered carbons are discussed. The most recently discovered allotrope of carbon, i.e., the fullerenes, along with carbon nanotubes, are more fully discussed in Chapter 2, where their structure-property relations are reviewed in the context of advanced technologies for carbon based materials. The synthesis, structure, and properties of the fullerenes and...

Moreover, it was found that incorporation of nanoparticles about 8 nm in diameter in a-Si H led to improved properties, the most important one being enhanced stability against light soaking and thermal annealing [387]. A later study revealed a typical crystallite size of 2-3 nm. with a hexagonal close-packed structure [388]. Diamond structures can also be observed [389]. Hence the name polymorphous silicon is justified.

An intermediate case (Bazin et al., 2002) between bulk and surface diffraction is reached for nanoparticles when the contribution from surface atoms becomes significant and diffraction analysis in the limit of infinite periodic lattice models inadequately describes the diffraction data. A case study with diamond nanoparticles (Palosz et al., 2002) describes elegantly the possibilities and limitations of diffraction analysis of such samples there is a focus on the nonperiodic structure such as strain and disorder induced by the dominant presence of a nonideal surface termination.
