"Q-carbon" meaning in English

See Q-carbon in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: The "Q" comes from quenched, due to the method of creating Q-carbon, by melting a layer of amorphous carbon atop an appropriate substrate and quickly cooling (quenching) it. Etymology templates: {{m|en|quenched}} quenched Head templates: {{en-noun|-}} Q-carbon (uncountable)
  1. (chemistry) An allotrope of carbon that is superhard, ferromagnetic and electroconductive. Wikipedia link: en:Q-carbon Tags: uncountable Categories (topical): Chemistry Coordinate_terms: amorphous carbon, diamond, carbon nanotube, fullerene, graphene, graphite
    Sense id: en-Q-carbon-en-noun-Z63X-0oX Categories (other): English entries with incorrect language header Topics: chemistry, natural-sciences, physical-sciences
