Fullerenes [electronic resource] : nanochemistry, nanomagnetism, nanomedicine, nanophotonics / Elena Sheka.

"Using an approach based on the author's original concepts, this book addresses the unique features of fullerenes that make them the keystones of carboneous nanoscience. Using tables, graphs, and equations to make comparisons, the book explores the similarities and differences between fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. These visual aids help readers to better understand the possibilities of computational nanotechnology"-- Provided by publisher.
