23. It is necessary to notice here that the value of the surface energy γS depends on the chemical composition of the gas phase. The influence of the carbon surface passivation by hydrogen on the slope of graphene layers in nanofiber was detected and investigated in Refs..

29. In the final version of expression, we omit the part with pressure p0, p0 in order for np / nI 1 as was discussed above Eq.. It slightly changes the carbon potential difference Δ, which also depends on many parameters of the technological process (controlled and uncontrolled). We keep parts with curvature. Formally these parts have the same order of values, but the saved ones are responsible for the description of the new qualitative phenomenon-the interface shape dependence from the growth rate and the growth rate dependence from the catalyst particle size.
