Laser deposition of carbon clusters on surfaces: A new approach to the study of Fullerenes
Abstract
We have accumulated large pure carbon clusters (Fullerenes) on a surface. These clusters were produced by laser vaporization of graphite in a static rare-gas atmosphere. Their presence on the surface was confirmed by an isotope scrambling experiment using a laser-desorption/laser-ionization mass spectrometric detection scheme. © 1990 American Institute of Physics.
