Abstract

Beyond the conventional allotrope of carbon, graphite, diamond and related compounds, the structures of small carbon clusters were investigated in order to understand their transition to nanoclusters and nanostructures, like fullerenes and graphenes. The alternation between even and odd carbon clusters was also studied. In addition, the transition from 1D to 2D and to 3D structures is explained and at at which cluster size can occur.
