Abstract
The first results of a novel laser induced pyrolysis (LIP) method br h igh yield production of fullerene and single walled nanotubes are repo rted. The pyrolysis process of graphite targets is carried out by mean s of a continuous CO, laser under a Bowing argon atmosphere. The vapor ization of the targets and the deposition of the generated soot take p lace in a vertical experimental set-up. (C) 1995 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
