An overview of the various carbon structures with characteristic sizes in the nanoscale
region is presented, with special attention devoted to the structures and properties of …

Molecular absorption and emission bands dominate the visible, infrared, and submillimeter
spectra of most objects with associated gas. These observations reveal a surprisingly rich …

Room-temperature superconductivity has been a long-held dream and an area of intensive
research. Recent experimental findings of superconductivity at 200 K in highly compressed …

The structures of boron clusters, such as flat clusters and fullerenes, resemble those of
carbon. Various two‐dimensional (2D) borophenes have been proposed since the …

Ultrananocrystalline Diamond: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications is a unique practical
reference handbook. Written by the leading experts worldwide it introduces the science of …

The nucleation of graphene on a transition metal surface, either on a terrace or near a step
edge, is systematically explored using density functional theory calculations and applying …

Previous energetic considerations have led to the belief that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of 4
Å in diameter are the smallest stable CNTs. Using high-resolution transmission electron …

Cyclo [n] carbons have recently attracted significant attention owing to their geometric and
electronic structures remaining largely unexplored in the condensed phase. In this work, we …

Belt-like molecules have been attracting considerable interest of not only synthetic but also
theoretical chemists for a number of reasons. First, belt-shaped molecules have been …

The dynamic self-assembly mechanism of fullerene molecules is an irreversible process
emerging naturally under the nonequilibrium conditions of hot carbon vapor and is a …
