Download or read book Nanotubes, Fullerenes, Nanostructured and Disordered Carbon written by John Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering a range of topics in the science of carbon, these 41 papers from the April 2001 symposium discuss both ordered solids and molecules and disordered solids. Topics range form the sp2 bonded fullerenes and nanotubes to the sp3 bonded amorphous carbons and diamond. The papers are drawn from sessions addressing fullerenes, nanotube growth, nanotube properties, field emission, diamond like carbon, and diamond. Specific topics include designability of graphitic cones, physical interaction of carbon nanotubes and conjugated polymers, three-dimensional calculation of field emission from carbon nanotubes using a transfer-matrix methodology, and synthesis of ultrathin ta-C films by twist-filtered cathodic arc carbon plasmas.
