Abstract

Process of fullerene formation and fragmentation is studied in various zones of fullerene generator. Fullerenes are produced utilizing carbon arc method, in which graphite electrodes are vaporized in a low pressure helium atmosphere by passing an electrical current through the electrodes. The effects of the gas pressure and intensity of the direct current on fullerene yield are investigated. Maximum fullerene yield of 8% is found in a raw soot after the evaporation of graphite by a 60 A direct current, in a helium ambient under the pressure of 8 kPa.
