Sir Harold W. Kroto, FRS Although the discovery of C is now almost 15 years old and the extraction occurred 60 nearly ten years ago it is amazing that the range of spin-off research still seems to expand without limits. The birth of the Fullerenes has spawned fascinating research programmes in almost every area of chemistry and physics and this monograph explores a particularly interesting and important area - the behaviour of these pure carbon cages in the presence of high-energy radiation. The C molecules must also be in the space 60 between the stars (albeit in quantities too small to...

This volume contains carefully compiled material providing bibliographic descriptions of approximately 3500 papers on fullerene research published between 1985 and 1993. It contains a computer-generated index on authors, subject headings, corporate addresses and journals.
