The closed-cage carbon molecules known as fullerenes provide an entirely new branch of chemistry, materials science, and physics. Fullerene research is now engaging the frenetic attention of thousands of scientists. Initially, the chemistry was relatively slow to develop due to the low availability of material, and the need for state-of-the-art instrumentation for product analysis. This research area is now very definitely up-and-running, and will soon become the main focus of attention in the fullerene field. The number of published papers already runs into hundreds, and the main features of fullerene reactivity have been established. This book describes all of the known types of reactions as well as the means of production, the purification, and the properties of fullerenes.

This book combines in one concise volume the diverse work of several similar books in the market. Each chapter is self-contained and designed to serve the needs of graduates and undergraduates in physics, biochemistry and chemistry. Numerous illustrations accompany the material and more than 60 problems in molecular physics are worked out. Tedious mathematics that obscures the essence of physics is avoided. Though mainly theoretical, many important experimental aspects are included and discussed. It aims at teaching, and not commenting on scientific knowledge. An essential compendium, it can be used both as a textbook and a reference.The main features covered include: Quantum-mechanical treatment of molecular physics; theoretical treatment of molecular spectra and experimental techniques in spectroscopy; interatomic interactions, potentials, molecular stability, energy levels, bonds, rotational and vibrational states, anharmonicity, polarization; theoretical consideration of real molecules. Resonance methods (NMR, NQR, EPR and ENDOR. Theory, experimental apparatus, techniques, numerical results, applications and utility thereof).

A survey of the machinery and science of the nanometer scale. Its twenty-two contributing authors, drawn from many different disciplines including atomic physics, microelectronics, polymer chemistry, and biophysics, delineate the course of current research and articulate a vision for the development of the nanometer frontiers in electronics, mechanics, chemistry, magnetics, materials, and biology. They reveal a world thirty years hence where motors are smaller than the diameter of a human hair; where single-celled organisms are programmed to fabricate materials with nanometer precision; where single atoms are used for computation, and where quantum chaos is the norm. Aimed at the level of at least a junior- or senior- level undergraduate in biology, chemistry, physics, or engineering.

The monograph is devoted to the relatively new and fast developing field of cluster physics. It is based on talks given at the Cluster Workshops, which were held in Pushchino in 1995 and 1996. The reports focus not only on the fundamental physical properties of clusters such as their geometric and electronic structure, as well as optical, thermal and magnetic properties, but also on a broad spectrum of their potential applications. These include nucleation and growth of small particles, fabrication of new materials with predefined properties (cluster-assembled and nanostructures). Some aspects of simulations and calculations of small particles and clusters are also discussed.We hope that our monograph will be of interest to a broad range of readers who will be able to sense the excitement of the talks.
