Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

In this exercise, students will learn how to use a modeling program to build a lattice structure. It will teach students how to construct a sheeted material such as graphite, how to construct an intercalated compound, how to construct a fullerene (buckyball, C60) and a aza-fullerene (C48N12), and how to construct a carbon nanotube from chains of carbon molecules. It aims to improve a student’s ability to visualize 3D structures.

Keywords:

Molecular modelling, materials, intercalation, fullerene, nanotube, allotropes.
