Abstract
Graphite vaporization induced by long pulses of near infrared laser to produce fullerenes is reported. Results of iodine photodissociation l aser-driven (lambda=1.315 mu m, pulse length similar to 150 mu s) form ation of C-60/70 fullerenes at various experimental conditions (number of laser shots, helium pressure, target surface shape) are summarized . In addition, laser production methods, as well as UV laser induced d ecomposition of fullerenes are discussed.
