  • Abstract

    We find that the most stable fullerene isomers, C(70)-C(94), form efficiently in close-to central collisions between keV atomic ions and weakly bound clusters of more than 15 C(60)-molecules. We observe extraordinarily high yields of C(70) and marked preferences for C(78) and C(84). Larger even-size carbon molecules, C(96)-C(180), follow a smooth log-normal (statistical) intensity distribution. Measurements of kinetic energies indicate that C(70)-C(94) mainly are formed by coalescence reactions between small carbon molecules and C(60), while C(n) with n≥96 are due to self-assembly (of small molecules) and shrinking hot giant fullerenes.
