Physics and Chemistry of Fullerenes and Derivatives - Proceedings of the International Winterschool on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials

The year 1995 witnessed the tenth anniversary of the International Winterschools in Kirchberg, Tyrol/Austria. These schools are devoted to the Electronic Properties of Novel Materials, having started with coverage of research on conducting polymers and high temperature superconductors to presently focusing on Fullerene, the newly discovered third allotrope of carbon.This year's proceedings present about ten tutorial and review papers on physics, chemistry, and material science of Fullerene, Fullerene derivatives and nanotubes, as well as bout a hundred research contributions on the latest development in this field including a summary on the assessment of the applications potential of the materials and phenomena which have already evolved from the activities in the past couple of years.
