Abstract

The relative stability of clusters of fullerenes has been investigated. By heating the clusters before ionization we have obtained mass spectra where only the monomer and (C60)13 are present in significant amounts. An approximately 20% increase of the activation energy for evaporation of a monomer from (C60)13 compared to that from (C60)14 explains the experimental results.
