Current paper systematizes the work devoted to the application of the aromatic spin probe EPR spectroscopy for the study of heterogeneous alumina catalysts, as well as supplemented by new researches carried out in IHP SB RAS. The advances of the method and the mechanism of probe molecules interaction with active surface sites and their nature are considered. There are noted some contradictions in views on mechanisms, nevertheless the modern point of view tends to participate BAS in the ionization of aromatic probe molecules.

Laser pulse irradiation of the globular turbostratic carbon material in various conditions was carried out in this work. It was investigated by TEM that the formation of nanostructured particles (nanocapsules) during irradiation at 1064 nm wavelength occurs with power density of 108 W/cm2, and it’s rise up to 1011 W/cm2 leads to increase the degree of ordering of the obtained structures. It is shown that irradiation of the initial globules with pulses at 532 nm wavelength allows to reduce the interplanar spacing of graphene layers from 0,410 nm to 0,346 nm in the formed nanocapsules. The dependence of the maximum heating temperature of nanoparticles on the energy density on the laser spot was analyzed. The influence of the heating temperature of the carbon nanomaterial on structure and morphology was stated.
