Abstract
A method for bulk separation of single-walled tubular fullerenes ( ) based on chirality is provided wherein a first step is the formation of a template ( ) on a crystalline substrate ( ). The template ( ) has a plurality of openings ( ) which are oriented to energetically favor adsorption of a respective plurality of single-walled fullerenes ( ) having a tubular contour and a selected chirality. Next, the template ( ) is exposed to a suspension ( ) of single-walled tubular fullerenes ( ) of random chiralities for adsorption of single-walled tubular fullerenes ( ) of the selected chirality into the openings ( ) of template ( ). Then, the template ( ) is removed from exposure to the suspension ( ) and the adsorbed single-walled tubular fullerenes ( ) of the selected chirality are removed from the template ( ). The template ( ) may then be reused to adsorb further tubular fullerenes ( ) of the selected chirality from a suspension ( ) of tubular fullerenes ( ) of random chiralities.
