Nanometer-size particles are produced in parallel electrode glow discharges. Supersaturated carbon vapor produced by the sputtering of a graphite cathode is at the origin of their formation. In this context; the energy distribution and the flux of the sputtering particles are estimated. The energy distribution of the emitted carbon atoms is also evaluated as a function of the distance to the cathode; taking into account the collisions with the discharge gas atoms. These collisions induce the carbon vapor cooling and then; a nucleation-condensation phase giving rise to dust precursor clusters. A linear scaling law of growth is established experimentally as a function of time when the dust size is higher than 20 nm. Within the considered time range; this scaling law shows that the growth comes from neutral deposition on the dust surface. © 2007 American Institute of Physics;
