DESCRIPTION:
Nuclear and Radiation Chemical Approaches to Fullerene Scien In his preface to this contributed volume Sir HaroldKroto recalls that from the first moment of its discoveryC60 initiated thoughts about encapsulation of atoms,including radionuclides for medical applications.The new monograph now bridges a gap in the literatureand treats various aspects of nuclear sciences as appliedto fullerenes. The research progress is surveyed in tenchapters grouped into four thematic parts.The first block consisted of four chapters anddeals with fullerenes in solid state. It is openedby a short survey from C. S. Sundar on positronannihilation s
The conditions in space 60 are very varied as it is pervaded by a plethora of high-energy particles (photons, cosmic rays, etc.) and the chapters in this book discuss, among other things, the response of C60 and various derivatives to probing by a range of high-energy particles. Various fullerenes and fullerene salts have been examined by positron annihilation techniques, revealing details of their electronic and structural properties as well as phase transition behaviour. C60 in water in which it is almost insoluble! Redox and rate constant measurements
