Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have unique physical and chemical properties that drive their use
in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. CNTs are commonly oxidized prior to …

Advanced science and technology based on carbon-based nanomaterials is experiencing a
rapid rate of change in the performance capabilities to substitute or serve as alternative …

The discovery of fullerenes (also known as buckyballs) has generated tremendous
excitement and opened up a new field of carbon chemistry. As the first book available on this …

The unique and tunable properties of carbon-based nanomaterials enable new
technologies for identifying and addressing environmental challenges. This review critically …

We have calculated the electronic structure of a fullerene tubule using a first-principles, self-
consistent, all-electron Gaussian-orbital based local-density-functional approach. Extending …

Nanostructured materials may be defined as those materials whose structural elements-
clusters, crystallites or molecules-have dimensions in the 1 to 100 nm range. The explosion …

Electron diffraction patterns of the fullerene C60 in the gaseous state have been obtained by
volatilizing it from a newly designed oven-nozzle at 730° C. The many peaks of the …

The electron-accepting ability of C60, the archetypal fullerene, is its most characteristic
chemical property. It is a natural consequence of electronic structure and was anticipated in …

We report vibrational Raman and infrared spectra for chemically separated C 60 and C 70
fullerenes. Thin film samples were prepared by subliming the chromatographically …

The toluene extract of the fluffy carbon material produced by resistive heating of graphite
contains a variety of molecules larger than C60 and C70 in a total amount of 3 to 4% by …
