Abstract

Carbon allotropes can be classified according to the carbon atom hybridization. In principle, there are different ways, based on various parameters, such as range dimensionality, type of chemical bonds, etc. which can be used to classify carbon nanostructures. Classifications vary function of the field of nanostructure applications. In a point of view, one can classify the carbon allotropes by the type of carbon atom hybridation. This chapter is a brief review introduction to some major allotropes: graphene/graphite, carbon nanotubes, diamond and amorphous carbon. In addition, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) techniques, frequently used for synthesizing these structures are discussed. The influence of some important experimental parameters on the growth of high quality diamond and diamond-like carbon DLC are also investigated.
