“…If modern mathematics is incorporated into the materials world as a new axis, novel materials discovered without ‘Serendipity’ (Beyond Serendipity) will no longer be a dream (Figure 3.21 of Ref. [ 15 ]).…”

“…From this standpoint, Onoe et al have hitherto investigated the structural and physicochemical properties of photo- and electron-beam (EB)-induced polymerized C 60 films under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions [ 14 , 15 ], and demonstrated that photopolymerization finally results in formation of a 2D semiconducting dumbbell-shaped C 60 polymer [ 16–20 ], whereas EB-polymerization finally results in formation of a 1D metallic uneven-structured (peanut-shaped) C 60 polymer [ 21–26 ] via the GSW transformation [ 7 ], as shown in Figure 2 [ 20 ]. Figure 2.…”
Since carbon (C) atom has a variety of chemical bonds
via
hybridization between s and p atomic orbitals, it is well known that there are robust carbon materials. In particular, discovery of C
60
has been an epoch making to cultivate nanocarbon fields. Since then, nanocarbon materials such as nanotube and graphene have been reported. It is interesting to note that C
60
is soluble and volatile unlike nanotube and graphene. This indicates that C
60
film is easy to be produced on any kinds of substrates, which is advantage for device fabrication. In particular, electron-/photo-induced C
60
polymerization finally results in formation of one-dimensional (1D) metallic peanut-shaped and 2D dumbbell-shaped semiconducting C
60
polymers, respectively. This enables us to control the physicochemical properties of C
60
films using electron-/photo-lithography techniques. In this review, we focused on the structures, fundamental properties, and potential applications of the low-dimensional C
60
polymers and other nanocarbons such as C
60
peapods, wavy-structured graphene, and penta-nanotubes with topological defects. We hope this review will provide new insights for producing new novel nanocarbon materials and inspire broad readers to cultivate new further research in carbon materials.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
