富勒烯的发现1985年,英国科学家Kroto为研究宇宙星云中的物质构成,来到了美国Rice大学Smalley实验室进行合作研究。Smalley大学当时有一台非常先进的实验设备,它既能在真空环境下通过激光溅射物质产生各种原子簇,又能够实时地利用飞行时间质谱确定这些原子簇的尺寸,因此非常适合模拟宇宙 The discovery of fullerenes In 1985, British scientist Kroto came to the Smalley Laboratory of Rice University in the United States to conduct research on the composition of matter in the cosmic nebula. At the time, Smalley University had a state-of-the-art lab that was able to generate clusters of atoms from laser-sputtered material in a vacuum and the ability to determine the size of these clusters in real time using fly-time mass spectrometry, making it ideal for simulating the universe
