Abstract
Boron- and silicon-doped carbon clusters of the type B m C n ( m = 1−4) and Si m C n ( m = 1, 2) have been produced via the laser-vaporization cluster beam technique. The observed features of the intensity distribution in mass spectra suggest that B atoms can be incorporated into the clusters with much higher efficiency than Si atoms. The mass spectral evidence is also consistent with the idea that SiC n ( n ⩾ 30) and BC n ( n ⩾ 30) clusters have a silicon- and boron-heterofullerene structure, respectively.
