Abstract  Bucky onions were fabricated by the DC discharge method and their behaviors and electric properties on Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) were studied by using an atomic force microscope (AFM), a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Small-sized Bucky onions demonstrated the properties of semiconductors and as the size increased their metallicity became stronger. AFM and STM images revealed the tendency of Bucky onions to form dimers.
Keywords:  electrical conductivity      electron states
