The infrared and ultraviolet absorption spectra of laboratory-produced carbon dust: evidence for the presence of the C60 molecule

Abstract

In carbon smoke samples prepared from vaporized graphite at elevated quenching gas pressures (e.g. > 100 Torr He) new absorption features have been observed in the infrared (the strongest at 1429, 1183, 577, and 528 cm−1). Broader features also have been observed in the ultraviolet (the strongest at 340, 270, and 220 nm). By studying 13C-enriched samples we have shown that the infrared absorptions are produced by large, pure carbon molecules. The evidence supports the idea that the features are produced by the icosahedral C60 molecule.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
