  • Fullerene structure, method of manufacturing the same, and apparatus for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 11787696
    Abstract: Provided is a fullerene structure including: a column-shaped part; and a fin part projecting from the column-shaped part, in which both of the column-shaped part and the fin part are fullerenes. Provided is a method of manufacturing a fullerene structure including: heating a fullerene raw material to a sublimable temperature or higher under a non-oxidizing gas; and cooling an atmosphere in which the fullerene raw material is heated. In one example, the method includes supplying the non-oxidizing gas in one direction; heating the fullerene raw material to the sublimable temperature or higher at an upstream side of a supply direction of the non-oxidizing gas; and cooling the atmosphere in which the fullerene raw material is heated at a downstream side of the supply direction of the non-oxidizing gas.
