Breaking of Icosahedral Symmetry: C60 to C70
We describe the existence and structure of large fullerenes in terms of symmetry breaking of the C60 molecule. Specifically, we describe the existence of C70 in terms of breaking of the icosahedral symmetry of C60 by the insertion into its middle of an additional H2 decagon. The surface of C70 is formed by 12 regular pentagons and 25 regular hexagons. All 105 edges of C70 are of the same length...
متن کاملCrystallography of quasicrystals ; application to icosahedral symmetry
2014 Crystallographic concepts are extended to quasicrystalline structures and applied to icosahedral quasicrystals. 2-dimensional N fold rotational symmetries are shown to be compatible with Bravais lattices in (at least) ~ (N) dimensions, where ~ (N) is the Euler number, while for 3-dimensional icosahedral symmetry the minimal dimension is 6. The case of icosahedral crystallography is worked ...
متن کاملDetection of C60 and C70 in a young planetary nebula.
In recent decades, a number of molecules and diverse dust features have been identified by astronomical observations in various environments. Most of the dust that determines the physical and chemical characteristics of the interstellar medium is formed in the outflows of asymptotic giant branch stars and is further processed when these objects become planetary nebulae. We studied the environme...
متن کاملPhotoionization of C60 and C70 in Liquid Alkanes
Single photon ionization of C60 in 2,2-dimethylpropane (neopentane, NP), 2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane (TMP), 2,2-dimethylbutane (neohexane, DMB), and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (isooctane, isoOCT), and of C70 in TMP was studied by photoconductivity measurement. Threshold energies of the photoconductivity were determined. From these results, the polarization energies and the ionic radii of the cations...
متن کاملTribological properties of fullerenes C60 and C70 microparticles
The frictional behaviors of fullerenes C60 and C70 were studied because they were speculated to be solid lubricants. For the sublimated pure C60 films on Si(001), a high friction coefficient (0.55–0.8) was observed under different loads and pin materials. For the C70 film, the friction coefficient showed a pin dependence, which changed from 0.5 with an Al2O3 pin to about 0.9 with a 440 stainles...
