Journal ArticleDOI
Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon
TL;DR: Iijima et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes, which were produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid C60: a new form of carbon
TL;DR: In this article, a new form of pure, solid carbon has been synthesized consisting of a somewhat disordered hexagonal close packing of soccer-ball-shaped C60 molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale synthesis of carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a variant of the standard arc-discharge technique for fullerene synthesis under a helium atmosphere, where a carbonaceous deposit formed on one of the graphite rods, consisting of a macroscopic (diameter of about 5 mm) cylinder.

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.
