Abstract

The discoveries of the carbon nanostructures, such as the 0D fullerenes [5.1] and their mass production [5.2], the 1D carbon nanotubes [5.3], and 2D graphene [5.4] substantially contributed to the fast development of nanoscience. More than 1,000 PhDs have been awarded for research on carbon nanotubes alone [5.5]. However, the carbon nanostructures have emerged as likely candidates for a wide range of applications, driving research into novel techniques for synthesizing these nanostructures. In this chapter we will first discuss carbon nanotubes, then graphene layers which have been studied only recently, and finally fullerenes such as C60 and similar molecular structures with a brief summary of the limits of wave-particle duality studied with fullerene nanoparticles.
