New form of ‘Mobius’ carbon predicted
March 17, 2009 | Source: Physics arXiv Blog
A new form of crystalline carbon made entirely of Mobius-molecules of graphene is suggested by calculations by Universidade Estadual de Campinas scientists.
Strips with an odd number of half twists (and one with six half turns) ought to have a magnetic dipole moment, making the molecules crystalise.
