The conventional method for producing onion fullerenes can provide only a small onion fullerene having a particle size of about 10 nm. If this is used as a lubricant, it is intended for a substrate having a mirror surface such as a Si substrate. In this case, the coefficient of friction is reduced, but if the object is microscopically uneven such as metal, the surface contact between the metal surfaces is uneven due to the particle size being too small. Becomes dominant, and the effect as a lubricant decreases. In addition, since the conventional production method uses cluster diamond (20,000 yen / g) as a material, there is also a problem that it is costly to distribute it to industry. In addition, there is a problem that the production cost increases because the generation time requires a long time of 2 hours.

[0008] The onion fullerene producing method of the present invention comprises:
Using an onion fullerene generator in which an infrared lamp is attached outside the vacuum chamber and a black body graphite crucible is arranged in the vacuum chamber, the graphite fine powder is filled in the graphite crucible, and the diamond fine powder is filled. Is heated by the infrared lamp to obtain onion fullerene. In order to generate onion fullerene having a large particle size, a diamond particle having a large particle size may be used as the diamond fine powder. When used as a lubricant, it is necessary to form an onion fullerene having a particle size larger than the size of the concave portion when targeting a microscopic material such as metal having irregularities. It acts as a lubricant by producing onion fullerene having a particle size within a range that can prevent surface contact resistance between metal irregularities or surface contact resistance between metal and another material from occurring. Can be effectively exhibited. For example, it is preferable to use diamond fine powder having a particle size of 5 nm or more (for example, diamond for abrasive grains). Onion fullerenes produced from diamond fine powder having a particle size of less than 5 nm have poor lubrication performance between metal surfaces or between a metal and another material. The upper limit may be a fine diamond powder having a particle size capable of forming an onion structure, and is not particularly limited. For example, if a fine diamond powder of preferably about 100 nm is used, satisfactory lubrication may be achieved. An onion fullerene having high performance is obtained.

[0009] When heating the diamond fine powder, it is preferable to heat while flowing an inert gas such as Ar or He as an atmosphere gas. This is because onion fullerene easily reacts with residual oxygen in the heating atmosphere. Further, the heating temperature is preferably 1700 ° C. or higher. When the temperature is lower than 1700 ° C., there is a problem that the generation time of onion fullerene is too long and the generation cost is increased. The upper limit temperature can be appropriately set according to the material of the onion fullerene generator used and the heating performance of an infrared lamp or the like.

As described above, for example, onion fullerenes having a large particle size can be produced by using diamond for abrasive grains. It is possible to greatly reduce the contact resistance with other materials. In addition, by using an infrared lamp, heating can be performed in a short time to a high temperature of, for example, about 1800 ° C. as an upper limit temperature, so that the generation time can be shortened and the generation cost is reduced.
