Excitonic mechanisms of defect formation and of sputtering from surfaces, induced as a
consequence of exciton relaxation, are effective in a limited class of wide-gap materials …

The wide range of fullerene reaction dynamics studied under well defined single-collision
conditions is reviewed. It is shown that fullerenes have proven to be very fruitful model …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

We have evaluated electronic energies of neutral, singly charged and doubly charged
fullerenes with sizes n= 50–60 using density functional (DFT) theory. For each value of the …

We have studied fragmentation and ionization of C 60 by He+ impact over a velocity range
from 0.1 to 1 au where a transition from vibrational to electronic excitation is predicted. With …

Strong perturbation caused due to the Coulomb interaction with fast highly charged ions has
been used to probe the quadrupole plasmon excitation in C 60 fullerene. The electron …

We have measured the branching ratios between C 2 evaporation, asymmetrical fission, and
multifragmentation of C 60 r+(r= 3–9) in Xe 3 0+− C 60 collisions at 300 keV impact energy …

A series of cationic molecular fragments (C n+, n= 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, and 21), produced by
electron-impact ionization of C60 in the gas phase, were each mass-selected and …

The behavior of single-and multiple-caged fullerene derivatives in MALDI mass spectra is
reviewed. Special attention is paid to the physicochemical aspects of formation and …

The original Skyrme force is extended by a momentum dependent three-body term. A study
is made on its influence on nuclear matter properties and properties of finite nuclei. The …
