Termination hydrogen not important as graphene sheet gets bigger Graphite structure The bigger the structure the better the thermal stability
When graphene sheet becomes small, termination hydrogen become kinetically important H H H H
所以C60不可能類似鑽石 或平面石墨之結構
Fullerenes: Cn, n = 76, 80, 82, 84, 90 , 92, ….1000, (沒有奇數) C60 紀念工程師 Buckminster-fuller而統稱 Cage structures 為 Fullerenes C70

除五六連環外 pentagons, hexagons, 尚有七連環 heptagons
0.34 nm inter-layer spacing
- + C60內部相對於外圍具正電性質 因電子密度內少外多
Iijima’s theory on TEM image formation E-beam 2Å At least 4 carbon atoms aligned
C60 inside SWNTs, why C60 is seen Because 1. HRTEM is a field emission type, which is more accurate and powerful. 2. imaging aberration makes fringe contrast of encapsulated C60 stronger, so C60 is seen
