Abstract
An ultrafine‐particle plasma consisting of electrons, positive K+ ions, and large negative C−60 ions is produced by introducing ‘‘Buckminsterfullerene, C60’’ particles into a low‐temperature (≂0.2 eV) potassium plasma column confined by a strong axial magnetic field. With an increase in the C−60 fraction, the electron shielding decreases, yielding clear effects on plasma collective phenomena, which are demonstrated for low‐frequency electrostatic plasma‐wave propagations and instabilities. This plasma might be useful for producing new C60‐based materials.Keywords
