Abstract
Dispersed particles of the iron subgroup (Fe, Co, Ni) possess by a number of specific physical and chemical properties (functions), capable of interacting with the environment under conditions, remote from equilibrium. Particles in such an active condition are called polyfunctional nanodimensional systems (PNS) [1]. In cases, when conditions for a multi-stage technology arise, PNS automatically selects the thermodynamically preferable sequence of technology stages and acts as a physicochemical nanorobot (PCNR) that governs the nanotechnology. In the present article, as a demonstration model, nickel nanoparticle is taken as the role of PCNR that governs the nanotechnology of the production of various carbon nanomaterials (CNM). In agreement with the fact that the PNS has a set of various functions, its remarkable ability to change the program and participation purpose as PCNR is disclosed. Such readjustments allow affecting the properties of the synthesized compositional materials. The main attention in the work is paid to theoretical analysis of the conditions, under which PCNR gains the ability to control the nanotechnology, the production of diamonds.
