Abstract
A fullerene plasma consisting of positive potassium ions, huge negative C60 ions, and residual electrons is generated in a Q machine, which has traditionally been used for plasma physics studies, under the influence of the mass production of fullerenes by an arc discharge method. The fullerene plasma shows novel behaviors associated with collective phenomena such as wave, instability, cross-field transport, and structure formation, Drastic changes in thin-film structure and the quality of K-C60 compounds are observed, and endohedral metallofullerene K@C60 is effectively formed in accordance with the bias control of the fluxes and energies of K+ and C60- flowing into a substrate immersed in this plasma.
