摘要: To understand fullerenes, it is crucial to determine the energies, and hence relative stabilities, of different structures. Here we introduce an approach calculating understanding these by applying elasticity theory. Explicit formulas are given for energies ball-shaped molecules, graphite tubules, recently proposed negative-curvature fullerenes. Extensive atomistic calculations confirm validity formulas. These results provide a general perspective on stability fullerenes
