摘要
Production of endohedral metallofullerenes in gravitation-free are discharge is investigated by means of a 12-m-high vertical swing tower to confirm the effect of gravitation-free condition, which suppresses thermal convection of hot gas in the are region and enables long-duration hot reaction of carbon molecules. As a result, production rate of lanthanum metallofullerene (LaC82) in gravitation-free condition prominently increases compared with that in steady-state gravitational condition.
