Fullerene Formation in Carbon-Arc - Electrode-Gap Dependence and Plasma Spectroscopy
Carbon plasma was studied using emission spectroscopy during fullerene formation. Temperatures within 3500-5500 K and C-2 volume densities up to 4.5 x 10(15) cm(-2) were determined depending upon the arc gap and input power.
