Abstract
Recently mechanical alloying (MA) has been employed to synthesize various kinds of materials. The MA of graphite under Ar gas atmosphere transformed the hexagonal graphite into nanostructured graphite which has a lot of dangling bonds. In case of the mechanical alloying of the graphite under D2 gas atmosphere, deuterium was absorbed by the solid-gas reaction. The radial distribution function RDF (r) derived by neutron diffraction experiments informed us the location of deuterium in the nano-structured graphite. One is the C-D covalent bond and the other is deuterium located between layers of the graphite.
