FULLERENE-CONTAINING STRUCTURE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A fullerene-containing structure which comprises a multilayered amorphous carbon base (4) comprising a first amorphous carbon layer (1) and a second amorphous carbon layer (2) and further comprises giant fullerenes (6) formed at least around the layer interface in the base (4) and each extending to both layers. The giant fullerenes formed around the layer interface can be connected to each other to form a continuous structure, e.g., a filmy structure (a filmy giant fullerene (7)). Such a fullerene-containing structure can be regulated with respect to the shape and position of the giant fullerenes and the state of the fullerenes, e.g., a continuous structure. The generated giant fullerenes themselves can be protected with the stable carbonaceous substrate.
