Investigating the unique properties of nano-  fullerenes  (the third form of carbon and graphene) in nano-electronics

Researcher  and author: Dr.   (   Afshin Rashid)



Note: Fullerene is the third form of carbon along with graphite and diamond, which has unique properties and makes it suitable for current resistance in nanotransistors, organic nanophotovoltaics, nanosuperconductors and nanosensors. 

The unique properties of fullerenes enable a wide range of applications from nanoelectronics to medicine.  Fullerenes  can behave as superconductors through semiconductors and  are exceptional radical transporters.  Extreme durability, the property  can easily be used in current transfer properties as a modified derivative, and this has caused changes in their electronic structure, solubility and physical properties (structure).

The structure of fullerenes in nature has five allotropes: diamond, graphite, nanotube, amorphous carbon and fullerene, all of which are solid.  The base of fullerenes is the plates in graphite, with the difference that in the atomic structure of fullerenes, instead of regular hexagons in graphite plates, there is a series of regular hexagons and pentagons, which are placed side by side. have taken and formed the fullerene sphere. The placement of these pentagons and hexagons together is necessary to form a spherical structure. In fact, without the presence of pentagons in the graphene structure, spherical structures cannot be obtained from graphene sheets.



Conclusion : 

The first fullerene discovered was Bucky Ball;   The most properties that are expressed about fullerenes are related to these two types C70 and C60 .
