Abstract

Similarities in behaviors of atomic nuclei and C-60 fullerene cages are investigated to explore evidences for a new concept that if a superheavy nucleus can be a cage structure similar to a C-60 fullerene. It is found that neutron-induced fusion reactions Of C-60 and/or C-70 cages yield stable heavy molecular clusters similar to nuclear molecular clusters surviving in fission process. The experimental results indicate analogies in geometric shapes and spatial alignment of the nuclear molecular cluster and atomic molecular cluster.
