Journal ArticleDOI
C 60 : Buckminsterfullerene
Harold W. Kroto,Harold W. Kroto,James R. Heath,Sean C. O'Brien,Robert F. Curl,Richard E. Smalley +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a truncated icosahedron, a polygon with 60 vertices and 32 faces, 12 of which are pentagonal and 20 hexagonal.
Journal ArticleDOI
The stability of the fullerenes C n , with n = 24, 28, 32, 36, 50, 60 and 70
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of simple, empirical chemical and geodesic rules which relate the stability of carbon cages mainly to the disposition of pentagonal rings or various directly fused pentagonal ring configurations are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure and bonding of ordered C60
William I. F. David,Richard M. Ibberson,Judy C. Matthewman,Kosmas Prassides,T. John S. Dennis,Jonathan P. Hare,Harold W. Kroto,Roger Taylor,David R. M. Walton +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the packing configuration of C60 molecules is revealed in an anticlockwise manner around the [111] direction by ∼98° from the ideal Fm3¯ configuration, which is due to an optimized ordering scheme in which electron-rich short inter-pentagon bonds face the electron-poor pentagon centres of adjacent C60 units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled production of aligned-nanotube bundles
Mauricio Terrones,Nicole Grobert,José Olivares,J. P. Zhang,Humberto Terrones,K. Kordatos,Wen-Kuang Hsu,J. P. Hare,P.D. Townsend,Kosmas Prassides,Anthony K. Cheetham,Harold W. Kroto,David R. M. Walton +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for generating aligned carbon nanotubes by pyrolysis of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine over thin films of a cobalt catalyst patterned on a silica substrate by laser etching is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiferroic Behavior Associated with an Order−Disorder Hydrogen Bonding Transition in Metal−Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with the Perovskite ABX3 Architecture
Prashant Jain,Vasanth Ramachandran,Ronald J. Clark,Haidong Zhou,Brian H. Toby,Naresh S. Dalal,Harold W. Kroto,Anthony K. Cheetham +7 more
TL;DR: This research opens up a new class of multiferroics in which the electrical ordering is achieved by means of hydrogen bonding, and the compounds become canted weak ferromagnets below 40 K.
