“…Note however that fusion of fullerene cages was observed in collision experiments. 13,[63][64][65] When 300 He atoms were used in the MD simulation, a similar high yield of fullerene formation was observed. However, in several trajectories we found the structures comprising endohedral carbon clusters with an increased number of four-coordinated carbon atoms (Fig.…”

“…Our early experiments considered only the reaction products within a small scattering angle range about 0 • [7,6]. The more recent work has concentrated on the scattering angle dependence of the fragmentation [4] and charge transfer [2] products and is able to provide considerable insight into the collision dynamics as well as to confirm the earlier interpretations in terms of simple models. These results indicated that the earlier work had underestimated the magnitude of the fusion cross sections because of scattering of the product out of the detection window due to multiple unimolecular dissociation reactions on a timescale of up to microseconds after the collision.…”

“…In our laboratory we have been studying fullerene-fullerene collisions in the intermediate collision energy regime (50-5000 eV) where a number of competing reaction channels occur: scattering [2], fusion [3][4][5], evaporation, (multi-)fragmentation [4] and charge transfer [2,6]. The fusion reaction channel is particularly interesting since there are many similarities but also some important differences compared to the dynamics of nuclear collisions [7].…”

New experimental data is reported for the absolute cross sections for the fusion reaction channel in single gas-phase collisions between fullerenes. The experimental data is compared with the results of quantum mechanical and classical molecular dynamics simulations as well as with simple models. Quantum molecular dynamics simulations are in very good quantitative agreement with the experimental data. The overall dynamical behaviour can be well-described qualitatively in the framework of simple models.

“…The calculations are in good agreement with the measured small angle cross sections indicating that the jellium model wave functions are adequate. It is important to note that Glotov and Campbell later corrected the total cross sections reported by Rohmund and Campbell 36 by taking in account large scattering angles 37 . The theory we used assumes straight line trajectories so the original data on small angle charge transfer cross sections is more applicable.…”

A semi-classical model describing the charge transfer collisions of C 60 fullerene with different slow ions has been developed to explain available experimental data. This data reveals multiple Breit-Wigner like peaks in the cross sections, with subsequent peaks of reactive cross sections decreasing in magnitude. Calculations of the charge transfer probabilities and cross sections for quasi-resonant and reactive collisions have been performed using semi-empirical interaction potentials between fullerenes and ion projectiles. All computations have been carried out with realistic wave functions for C 60 's valence electrons derived from the simplified jellium model. The quality of these electron wave functions have been successfully verified by comparing theoretical calculations and experimental data on the small angle cross sections of resonant C 60 + C + 60 collisions. Using the semi-empirical potentials to describe resonant scattering phenomena in C 60 collisions with ions and Landau-Zener charge transfer theory, we calculated theoretical cross sections for various C 60 charge transfer and fragmentation reactions which agree with experiments.
