Although carbon has been subjected to far more study than all other elements put together, the buckminsterfullerene hollow-cage structure, recently proposed to account for the e...
Production and characterization of supersonic carbon cluster beams
Laser vaporization of a substrate within the throat of a pulsed nozzle is used to generate a supersonic beam of carbon clusters. The neutral cluster beam is probed downstream by...
Antigenicity of fullerenes: Antibodies specific for fullerenes and their characteristics
The recent interest in using Buckminsterfullerene (fullerene) derivatives in biological systems raises the possibility of their assay by immunological procedures. This, in turn,...
Preparation of Carbon Nanotubes by Arc-Discharge Evaporation
Extremely thin graphite filaments with a tubular structure were grown in carbon deposits formed on the negative electrode during generation of fullerenes by dc carbon-arc-discha...
