Carbonaceous Onion-Like Particles: A Possible Component of the Interstellar Medium
A carbonaceous material formed from a hydrocarbon plasma called quenched carbonaceous composite (QCC) is shown to have functional groups that approximate the positions of the interstellar 217.5 nm absorption a...

Chemical, Optical, and Infrared Properties of Quenched Carbonaceous Composites (QCCS)
Quenched carbonaceous composite (QCC) was synthesized by quenching the plasma of methane gas. Chemical properties as well as optical and infrared spectra of the QCC and “oxidized” QCC were measured. Good agree...

Does a 2,200 Å hump observed in an artificial carbonaceous composite account for UV interstellar extinction?
The 2,200 Å hump in the interstellar extinction curve has attracted much attention since its discovery by Stecher1. Graphitic2,3 and carbonaceous grains4 and MgO (ref. 5) have been considered as possible candidat...
