Fullerene molecules such as C(60) are large nearly spherical shells of carbon atoms. Pairs of such molecules have a strong long-range van der Waals attraction that can produce scattering or binding into molecular crystals. A simplified classical-electrodynamics model for a fullerene is a spherical metal shell, with uniform electron density confined between outer and inner radii (just as a simpl...

Fullerenes C60 are molecules composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hollow spherical structure. They have been found to bind transition metal complexes, which atom and one or more other atoms. This binding has be very strong, with the fullerene forming protective shell around complex. potential applications range fields, such as biochemistry nanotechnology. review provides description some exam...

Underwater bubbles are extremely good acoustic resonators, but freely evolving and dissolving. Recently it was found that can be stabilized in frames, the influence of frame shape is still undocumented. Here we first explore vibration polyhedral with a low number faces, shaped as five Platonic solids. Their resonance frequency well approximated by formula for spherical same volume. Then extend ...

Several fabrication methods have been proposed to develop the metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) reinforced by carbon nanomaterials (mostly nanotubes, and graphene) means of liquid-state solid-state techniques. The spraying processes, squeeze casting, disintegrated melt deposition milling fabrication, friction stir processing used fabricate composite. However, MMNCs, containing fullerenes as r...

The so-called leapfrog transformation that was first introduced for fullerenes (trivalent polyhedra with 12 pentagonal faces and all other faces hexagonal) is generalised to general polyhedra and maps on surfaces. All spherical polyhedra can be classified according to the i r leapfrog order. A polyhedron is said to be of Clar type if there exists a set of faces that cover each vertex exactly on...

fullerenes are closed−cage carbon molecules formed by 12 pentagonal and n/2 – 10hexagonal faces, where n is the number of carbon atoms. patrick fowler in his lecture inmcc 2009 asked about the wiener index of fullerenes in general. in this paper werespond partially to this question for an infinite class of fullerenes with exactly 10ncarbon atoms. our method is general and can be applied to full...

We describe a new construction algorithm for the recursive generation of all non-isomorphic IPR fullerenes. Unlike previous algorithms, the new algorithm stays entirely within the class of IPR fullerenes, that is: every IPR fullerene is constructed by expanding a smaller IPR fullerene unless it belongs to a limited class of irreducible IPR fullerenes that can easily be made separately. The clas...

Closed-cage all-carbon molecules referred to as fullerenes were discovered in carbon vapor from laser heating of graphite and subsequently produced in macroscopic quantities by resistive heating of carbon rods. Suggestions that fullerenes may be involved in soot formation, and the detection, in flames, of all-carbon ions having the same masses as fullerenes, have generated much interest in the ...

Ever since their experimental discovery in 1985, fullerenes have attracted considerable attention in different fields of sciences. Investigations of chemical, physical and biological properties of fullerenes have yielded promising information. Their unique carbon cage structure coupled with immense scope for derivatization makes fullerenes a potential therapeutic agent. Henceforth various poten...

We study high-order harmonic generation in C60 molecules interacting with a linearly polarized intense short laser pulse at nearand mid-infrared wavelengths, using an extension of the so-called three-step or Lewenstein model to the molecular case. The results exhibit modulations in the plateaus of the spectra at the longer wavelengths, which are present for ensembles of aligned as well as rando...
