Carbon nanoparticles are produced in supersaturated carbon vapors of sputtering discharges as well as from complex reactions between hydrocarbon radicals in Ar/CH{sub 4}/H{sub 2} microwave discharges. A summary of their formation is reported. Despite different molecular precursors, it is shown that they can exhibit similar carbon concentric microtexture. Correlations are established between the final nanoparticle solid state and the heating mechanisms which are characteristic of each discharge.
