Abstract
Chromatographic analyses of solvent extracts from graphite bombarded w ith 130MeV/amu Dy-161(22+) ions, and polyimide (kapton) bombarded with 5 MeV Li-6(1+) ions, give clear evidence for the in situ synthesis of buckminsterfullerene -C60. The role played by the production of highl y confined, dense assemblies of energetic electrons in this phase chan ge is discussed.
