Marina A. Petrukhina received her PhD from Moscow State University in and is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Albany. She has published over research papers in scientific journals. Authors Marina A. Petrukhina and Lawrence T. Scott talk about their new book Fragments of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes. This book is a review of the science and technology of the element carbon and its allotropes: graphite, diamond and the fullerenes. This field has expanded greatly in the last three decades stimulated by many major discoveries such as carbon fibers, low-pressure diamond, and the fullerenes.

The smallest stable fullerene is composed of 60 carbon atoms, 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. These form a shape like a soccer ball. The name fullerene was derived from the surname of Richard Buckminster Fuller whose geodesic dome structure is an exact replica of the structure of fullerene C They discuss the structure, properties, and behavior of carbon fullerenes, including the smallest possible fullerene: C The book also looks at inorganic fullerenes, such as boron fullerenes, silicon fullerenes, nanocones, and onion-like inorganic fullerenes.

Fullerenes-a guide to the current state of knowledge in the field The last decade has seen an explosion of research into the chemical and physical properties of a promising new class of carbon-based materials known as fullerenes. Karl Kadish and Rodney Ruoff, two highly recognized leaders in the fullerene and nanotube research community, edit a comprehensive and much-needed survey of this. The use of fullerenes as the stationary phase is also described. Covering C60, C70 and higher than C70 fullerenes, this book will be welcomed by graduates and researchers in many areas of chemistry. (source: Nielsen Book Data). Ultrafast and ultra-intense, short X-ray pulses from free-electron lasers (FELs) have opened up a new regime for all scientific research and for fullerenes in particular. FELs allow for the investigation of ultrafast nonlinear and multiphoton processes, as well as the exploration of the fragmentation dynamics of fullerenes. This chapter describes the FELs’ attributes that enable new FEL Author: Nora Berrah.
