Recently, carbon and silicon research has seen an outburst of new structures, experimentally observed or theoretically predicted (e.g., small fullerenes, heterofullerenes, schwarzite, and clathrates) with attractive properties. This book reviews these exotic futuristic species and their potential applications and critically examines the predicting models and the possible routes for their... Read more

Biography

Patrice Melinon, Bruno Masenelli

"This book looks very interesting and the subject is timely. It is well structured and is valuable for both the specialist and the nonspecialist in this field. It could well be used as the basis for setting up a lecture or a seminar. The work is outstanding and is a major contribution to today's science. Researchers at industry labs and university students working in this area will greatly benefit from it. I am impressed by the wide range of topics presented and their profound coverage. The authors also provide an easy introduction to each subject covered in the book. My sincere congratulations to the authors for getting such an excellent work together."
—Prof. Klaus Sattler, University of Hawaii, USA
