Fullerene interaction with carbon nanohorns

The interaction between carbon buckminsterfullerene (C 60) and carbon nanohorns (also referred to as nanocones) with different tip angles is investigated theoretically. Attachment of C 60 to both the interior and the exterior of the horns are considered. Calculations cover a range of cone angles fro...
