Estimating the term…
Provided is a three-dimensional shaped carbon structure having a nanocarbon structure, the nanocarbon structure including at least one of a petal-shaped structure with flaky carbons fixed into a petal shape, each of the flaky carbons having a graphene skeleton and a thickness of less than 20 nm; and a projected-and-recessed structure formed by an assembly of seed-shaped structures, each of the seed-shaped structures having a size of 1 to 100 nm. The carbon structure has a good formability and an excellent durability in high radiation fields, and is further useful as a reflector of a cold neutron or an extremely cold neutron that can achieve high strengths of the cold neutron and the extremely cold neutron through coherent scattering.
