Abstract
This article focuses on the ability of carbon to form zero dimensional quantum dots of subnanometer dimensions in the form of fullerenes, an d one-dimensional quantum wires in the form of carbon nanotubes. A rev iew is here presented of the various carbon nanostructures connected w ith fullerenes and carbon nanotubes in the context of nanotechnology. (C) 1997 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
