This book was released on 1994 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the symposium 'Science and Technology of fullerene Materials, ' held at the 1994 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston from November 28 to December 2. This symposium was international in character, and was planned to provide a multidisciplinary discussion of all levels of fullerene-based materials science, with a special focus on new technological advances in the development and application of fullerenes and related materials. The symposium comprised 21 invited talks and 113 contributed oral and poster presentations, broadly covering both experimental and theoretical results of the ongoing efforts to create, characterize, and find applications for fullerenes and related novel carbon materials. The diversity of conditions leading to fullerene formation was demonstrated by reports showing that flame production of fullerenes is quite practical, that a solar furnace can make fullerenes, and that fullerenes are prominent in certain regions of ordinary candle flames. Similarly, production of carbon nanotubes was reported not only in cathodic deposits, but also in flame soots, pyrolysis products of hydrocarbons, soot produced by laser vaporization of graphite, and in arc fullerene generators with added metal catalysts. Other nanotube papers focused on purification and on field emission from nanotube tips as a factor controlling the arc plasma during growth and a potentially useful phenomenon enabling fabrication of novel cold cathode field emitters. Fullerene-like particles and nanotubes based on non-carbon layer compounds such BN and MoS and its analogs were reported. jg p.12.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Krätschmer and Huffman's revolutionary discovery of a new solid phase of carbon, solid C60, in 1990 opened the way to an entire new class of materials with physical properties so diverse that their richness has not yet been fully exploited. Moreover, as a by-product of fullerene research, carbon nanotubes were later identified, from which novel nanostructures originated that are currently fascinating materials scientists worldwide. Rivers of words have been written on both fullerenes and nanotubes, in the form of journal articles, conference proceedings and books. The present book offers, in a concise and self-contained manner, the basics of the science of these materials as well as detailed information on those aspects that have so far been better explored. Structural, electronic and dynamical properties are described as obtained from various measurements and state-of-the-art calculations. Their interrelation emerges as well as their possible dependence on, for example, preparation conditions or methods of investigation. By presenting and comparing data from different sources, experiment and theory, this book helps the reader to rapidly master the basic knowledge, to grasp important issues and critically discuss them. Ultimately, it aims to inspire him or her to find novel ways to approach still open questions. As such, this book is addressed to new researchers in the field as well as experts.

Download or read book Science of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes written by M. S. Dresselhaus and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-03-20 with total page 985 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 topic, this volume will be a landmark reference in the field. Because buckyballs are essentially closed hollow cages made up of carbon atoms, they can be manipulated in a variety of ways to yield never-before-seen materials. The balls can, for instance, be doped with atoms or pulled out into tubules and filled with lead to provide properties of high-temperature superconductivity. Researchers can now create their own buckyballs in a process that is almost as simple as making soot, making this research as inexpensive as it is exotic (which has doubtless contributed to its popularity). Researchers anticipate that fullerenes will offer boundless opportunities in the development of new products, drugs and materials. Science of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes introduces materials scientists, chemists, and solid state physicists to the field of fullerenes, and discusses the unique properties and applications. both current and future, of all classes of fullerenes. Key Features * First comprehensive resource on fullerenes and their applications * Provides an introduction to the topic * Presents an extensive discussion of current and future applications of Fullerenes * Covers all classes of fullerenes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 16 countries represented, this book represents international developments in the field of film synthesis and growth using energetic beams. It focuses on pulsed-laser deposition. Fundamental issues pertaining to the generation of laser ablation plumes, temperature distributions and collisional effects are described. Ion-assisted pulsed-laser deposition, pulsed-ion deposition, applications of hyperthermal beams and aspects of surface dynamics are discussed. The inclusion of an ion beam with the ablation process leads to some unique modifications in the thin-film growth mechanisms, and hence, film properties. Likewise, the collision of high-mass metal cluster ions with substrates shows promise for growth of novel structures. Also featured are new developments of optoelectronic materials, nitrides and carbon films using a variety of techniques. The effects of beam-induced defects on growth and surface morphology, chemical effects during growth, and characterization of film growth and film properties are addressed.
