Abstract
A facility for synthesizing fullerenes by evaporating graphite at a lo w helium pressure in an are discharge with a power of similar to 30 kW and a current of similar to 1000 A is described. The content of C-60/ C-70 fullerenes in the resulting soot is about 15%. The process can be investigated and the optimal parameters can be determined by tuning t he synthesis parameters over a wide range.
