6. Why?--a materials perspective Image of reconstruction on a clean Gold(100) surface, as visualized using scanning tunneling microscopy. The positions of the individual atoms composing the surface are visiblereconstruction Gold100 scanning tunneling microscopyatoms “quantum size effect” ： dominant when the nanometer size range is reached. a number of physical (mechanical, electrical, optical, etc.) properties change when compared to macroscopic systems. For example: opaque substances become transparent (copper); stable materials turn combustible (aluminum); insoluble materials become soluble (gold). A material such as gold, which is chemically inert at normal scales, can serve as a potent chemical catalyst at nanoscales.

7. Why?--Simple to complex: a molecular perspective Molecular self-assembly: automatically arrange themselves into some useful conformation. through a bottom-up approach to prepare small molecules to almost any structure The DNA structure at left (schematic shown) will self-assemble into the structure visualized by atomic force microscopy at right. Image from Strongatomic force microscopy

8. How?--Tools and techniques Tools: The atomic force microscope (AFM) and the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) are two early versions of scanning probes that launched nanotechnology Typical AFM setup. A microfabricated cantilever with a sharp tip is deflected by features on a sample surface, much like in a phonograph but on a much smaller scale. A laser beam reflects off the backside of the cantilever into a set of photodetectors, allowing the deflection to be measured and assembled into an image of the surfaceAFMmicrofabricatedcantileverphonographlaser photodetectors They can be used to look at surfaces and to move atoms around. By designing different tips for these microscopes, they can be used for carving out structures on surfaces and to help guide self-assembling structures.

9. Bottom-up approaches Molecular self-assembly seeks to use concepts of supremolecular chemistry, and molecular recognition in particular, to cause single-molecule components to automatically arrange themselves into some useful conformation. Sarfus image of a DNA biochip elaborated by bottom-up approach. These seek to arrange smaller components into more complex assemblies

10. Top-down approaches These seek to create smaller devices by using larger ones to direct their assembly. This device transfers energy from nano-thin layers of quantum wells to nanocrystals above them, causing the nanocrystals to emit visible light.

15. A Fullerene is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and cylindrical ones are called carbon nanotubes or buckytubes.sphereellipsoidtubecarbon nanotubes What is Fullerene? C 60 in solution Buckminster fullerene C 60 (left) and carbon nanotubes (right) are two examples of structures in the fullerene family.

17. Fullerene-History The existence of C 60 was predicted by Eiji Osawa of Toyohashi University of Technology in a Japanese magazine in 1970Toyohashi University of Technology With mass spectrometry, discrete peaks were observed corresponding to molecules with the exact mass of sixty or seventy or more carbon atoms. In 1985, Harold Kroto etc ， discovered C 60, and shortly thereafter came to discover the fullerenes. Kroto, Curl, and Smalley were awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their roles in the discovery of this class of compounds.mass spectrometryHarold Kroto Nobel Prize in Chemistry Minute quantities of the fullerenes, in the form of C 60, C 70, C 76, and C 84 molecules, are produced in nature, hidden in soot and formed by lightning discharges in the atmosphere.soot Buckminsterfullerene C 60 The Icosahedral Fullerene C 540Icosahedral

18. Discovery of Carbon C 60 1985, Robert F. Curl, … discovered a new form of carbon ， that 60 or 70 carbon atoms could cluster together to form a cage-like molecule. The molecular structure resembled the pattern of a soccer ball or the geodesic designs of Buckminster Fullerenes. Thus the name buckyballs or fullerenes. Since then the discovery has led to new research in polymers, semiconductors, and other various areas. Nobel Prize to their finders in 1996

19. Existence in the nature In 1992, fullerenes were found in a family of minerals known as Shungites in Karelia, Russia.ShungitesKarelia In 2010, fullerenes (C60) have been discovered in a cloud of cosmic dust surrounding a distant star 6500 light years away. Using NASA's Spitzer infrared telescope the scientists spotted the molecules' unmistakable infrared signature. Sir Harry Kroto, who shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of buckyballs commented: "This most exciting breakthrough provides convincing evidence that the buckyball has, as I long suspected, existed since time immemorial in the dark recesses of our galaxy” Spitzer

20. Naming--Fullerene The substance of the Fullerene was named after the American inventor, architects and philosophers Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895 till 1983). As an architect, R.B.Fuller designed the constructions which exist of 5-corners and 6- corners, for example, the American pavilion to the Expo in '67 in Montréal(geodesic dome).geodesic dome Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of stacked graphene sheets of linked hexagonal rings; but they may also contain pentagonal (or sometimes heptagonal) rings.graphitegraphene

24. Another fairly common fullerene is C 70, but fullerenes with 72, 76, 84 and even up to 100 carbon atoms are commonly obtained. In mathematical terms, the structure of a fullerene is a trivalent convex polyhedron with pentagonal and hexagonal faces. In graph theory, the term fullerene refers to any 3-regular, planar graph with all faces of size 5 or 6 (including the external face). It follows from Euler's polyhedron formula, V − E + F = 2, (where V, E, F are the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces), that there are exactly 12 pentagons in a fullerene and V/2 − 10 hexagons. mathematicaltrivalentpolyhedrongraph theoryregularplanar graphEuler's polyhedron formula C20 C26 C60 C70 Different structure buckyballs
