Magic and hot giant fullerenes formed inside ion irradiated weakly bound C(60) clusters.

چکیده
We find that the most stable fullerene isomers, C(70)-C(94), form efficiently in close-to central collisions between keV atomic ions and weakly bound clusters of more than 15 C(60)-molecules. We observe extraordinarily high yields of C(70) and marked preferences for C(78) and C(84). Larger even-size carbon molecules, C(96)-C(180), follow a smooth log-normal (statistical) intensity distribution. Measurements of kinetic energies indicate that C(70)-C(94) mainly are formed by coalescence reactions between small carbon molecules and C(60), while C(n) with n≥96 are due to self-assembly (of small molecules) and shrinking hot giant fullerenes.

Magnetic fullerenes inside single-wall carbon nanotubes.
C(59)N magnetic fullerenes were formed inside single-wall carbon nanotubes by vacuum annealing functionalized C(59)N molecules encapsulated inside the tubes. A hindered, anisotropic rotation of C(59)N was deduced from the temperature dependence of the electron spin resonance spectra near room temperature. Shortening of the spin-lattice relaxation time T(1) of C(59)N indicates a reversible charg...

Up to now, various empty carbon fullerenes with different magic number "n", such as C10, Cow Cm, Cso,Cis** Cm and so on. have been obtained. The calix[n]arenes are a class of chalice-like rnacrocyclicmolecules that have attracted widespread attention as complex molecules with liquid crystal behaviors.These classes of compounds are cyclic ohgomers synthessid by condensation of a para-alkylated p...
متن کاملMetal-Polyhydride Molecules Are Compact Inside a Fullerene Cage.
Quantum chemical calculations show that metal-hydride molecules are more compact when they are placed inside a fullerene cage than when they are isolated molecules. The metal-hydrogen bond distance in ZrH4 becomes 0.15 Å shorter when it is placed inside a C60 cage. Metal-polyhydride molecules with a large number of H atoms such as ScH15 and ZrH16, which are not bound as isolated molecules, are ...
متن کامل1 4 M ay 2 00 2 Shell Structure of Cesium Layer Covering the C 60
Strutinsky shell corrections for the Cesium-coated fullerenes were investigated. The single particle levels of electrons are obtained using the spherical mean-field potential of a shifted Wood-Saxon type. The parameters of the potential are adjusted to reproduce the experimental ionization energies of the Cs(N) clusters and the magic numbers observed in their photo-ionization spectra of the C60...
متن کاملStructures and Isomerization of Lac,+ Clusters
Injected ion drift tube techniques have been used to examine the structures and to study the isomerization of Lac,+ (n = 2-90) clusters. Three families of metal-containing carbon rings ("ring Ia", "ring Ib", and "ring II"), metal-containing graphite sheets, and metallofullerenes have been resolved. Several plausible geometries with similar mobilities can be suggested for all of the ring isomers...
