Abstract
The reaction of Fe, Co and Ni with amorphous carbon and its catalytic graphitisation at relatively low temperatures (600-700 °C) in vacuo is accompanied by the formation of liquid mobile metal-carbon (M-C) particles; the mechanism by which these particles are formed and maintained in the liquid state is suggested.
