title = "Highly energetic collisions of Xe with fullerene clusters",
abstract = "One subset of the fullerene activities is collision experiments using high energetic inert gases with fullerene clusters. We report on the formation of fullerene oligomers upto (C60)m, m=2-12 following the collisions of 200 keV and 400 keV Xe with (C60)55 fullerene clusters using classical reactive dy-namics. A preference for C60+n (n=1-4) fragments was ob-served after the collision. The sequence of peaks detected in the range C105-C122 after 1 ns from the collision is compa-rable with the experimental results. According to the post collisional dynamics, a dimer formed with one cross-link be-tween two fullerenes led to a peanut shaped molecule after 25 ns and a linear trimer has turned into a carbon nanotube like structure after 43 ns. At the ns time scale, more or-ganized carbon molecules as well as big amorphous carbon chunks also remained as collisional products.",
