Chemistry and Physics of Carbon

Written by distinguished researchers in carbon, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular structure of carbons, and demonstrates how modern computational and modeling methods may contribute to the prediction of carbon material adsorption, separation, and diffusion.Volume 29 bridges the gap between the flat and curved sp2 hybridized carbon structures, and resolves controversies related to the formation of fullerenes and soot. It emphasizes theoretical interpretations and computer simulations, examines water/carbon, and summarizes all aspects of Chemical Vapor Deposition of diamond, including its latest applications.
