Notes:
We examine carbon fibers grown at the ends of corona wires during negative point-to-plane corona discharges in hydrocarbon atmospheres. Under certain growth conditions, these fibers are hollow tubes with smooth walls; under other growth conditions, the fibers are also hollow tubes, but have rough surfaces. Scanning electron micrographs of these fibers are discussed and possible applications for these fibers are noted.
