Abstract
A stabilized carbon cluster conducting material comprising (i) a core comprising a conducting or superconducting carbon cluster and (ii) a sheath covering the core; a device comprising a substrate having thereon a film of a conducting or superconducting carbon cluster covered with a protective film capable of substantially preventing permeation of oxygen and water in the atmosphere; and processes for producing the stabilized carbon cluster conducting material and the device.
Claims9
A process for producing a device comprising a substrate having thereon a film of a conducting or superconducting carbon cluster covered with a protective film, said process comprising the steps of:
- depositing a carbon cluster on a substrate while adding a dopant to form a carbon cluster conducting or superconducting film on a substrate;
- and
- forming a protective film impermeable to oxygen and water in the atmosphere to cover said carbon cluster conducting or superconducting film.
