Abstract
A process for preparing a material in which a gas mixture is subjected to a a temperature of at least 1,000 degrees Celsius while its pressure increased to at least 1,000 Torr. The pressurized hot gas mixture, which contains inert gas and fullerene ions, is then quenched by decreasing its temperature to a temperature of less than 500 degrees Celsius in a period of less than about 1 millisecond, and by decreasing its pressure of to a pressure of less than about 1 Torr in a period of less than about 10 milliseconds.
