Diamond from fullerenes
Source abstract
Abstract
Buckminsterfullerene has been enjoying intense attention from physicists and chemists alike in an attempt to modify and examine it in every possible way. Realistic applications for this form of carbon are, however, few and far between. Recently a group based in Grenoble have shown that it is possible to convert C60 (see Figure) into diamoned. The process and its consequences are discussed. magnified image
