We investigate the ionization of icosahedral fullerenes (C20, C60, C80, and C180) in an intense laser pulse using the S-matrix theory. The results obtained are in excellent agreement with the recent observations of unexpectedly high saturation intensities of the Buckminster fullerene and its multiply charged ions. Our analysis strongly suggests that the related phenomenon of suppressed ionizati...

The fullerene structures of C20cage and bowl,C20H10 and their N-doped structures as C20cage NH,C20bowl NH, C20H10NH, C20H10N and their isomers are optimized using the MPW1PW91/6-31G level of the theory. Magnetic shielding tensors of 14N and 13C atoms are calculated by the same level of the theory. Results show that doping an N atom on fullerenes affects differently on the chemical shielding of ...

Fullerenes are molecules created solely of carbon and have a highly unusual attributes. The smallest structure in the fullerene family is conformation C20, which consists of pentagonal rings only, resulting in its instability. The C60 is the first fullerene containing 12 pentagonal and 20 hexagonal rings in which pentagons do not share an edge. It results in good stability of the carbon cage. T...

in this paper, the structural properties of c20 and c12b8 fullerene interacting with glycine based onthree active sites of glycine and one c atom or one b atom in c12b8 were analyzed through thedensity functional theory. it was found out that the binding of glycine to c12b8 generated a complex.our results were extremely relevant in order to identify the potential applications of functionalizedc...

Sarin is a very toxic organophosphorus chemical warfare agent which has been used in different wars. According to an immediate demand of detection, secure approachs to break down this toxic nerve agent, the study on decomposition of sarin achieve significance. In this work, we have made endeavors of discovering an approach to neutralize this hazardous kind by adsorption of this molecule by C20 ...

In this study, we have employed graphene oxide as a matrix to simultaneously and directly quantify serum nonesterified and esterified fatty acids (FAs) using matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (MALDI-FTICR MS). Twelve serum nonesterified FAs combined with their individual esterified FAs (i.e., C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2...
