Abstract
Kish graphite (KG) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) were embedded in acetone at liquid nitrogen temperature, and were fractured with a knife-edge in liquid nitrogen. Fractured surfaces were observed by a scanning electron microscope with a low acceleration voltage. Well fractured regions have areas about 150μm length and about 10μm width for KG, and about 100μm length and about 10μm width for HOPG, for thelargest. The fractographs show a layered structure without regularity, in which thickness of the layer ranges between 0.05 and 0.2μm. The layered structure may be formed during complicated process induced in KG or HOPG crystal through fracture of solid acetone matrix.
