Abstract
Carbon clusters are strongly bound clusters that cause great sensation among contemporary cluster researchers. Carbon is veritably one of the most abundant elements and is the first stable element that may be applied in fusion reactions. Carbon easily nucleates to form clusters. Currently, the fullerenes or carbon with 24 or greater number of atoms have gained special attention because of their pure chemical and physical properties. In particular, C60 is being studied for its superconducting capabilities when doped with alkalis. However, further years of research before fullerenes will be fully comprehended.
