ABSTRACT

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters and Fullerenes focuses on the fundamental physics of these nanoscale materials and structures. Each peer-reviewed chapter contains a broad-based introduction and enhances

Free Clusters. Clusters in Contact. Production and Stability of Carbon Fullerenes. Structure and Properties of Carbon Fullerenes. Carbon Fullerenes in Contact. Inorganic Fullerenes. Index.
