| Summary |
Carbon and silicon are among the most important elements because of their implication in many fields, ranging from astrophysics to biology. Their manipulation at the nanoscale has already lead to spectacular and well documented achievements such as fullerenes, nanotubes and nanowires. Recently, this domain of research has seen an outburst of new structures, experimentally observed or theoretically predicted (e.g. small fullerenes, heterofullerenes, schwarzite, clathrates ...) with attractive properties. This book reviews these exotic futuristic species, their potential interest for application |
