Abstract
Carbon because of its electronic structure can formulate several types of bonds and allotropes. In the ranking of elements in the Universe, carbon is the fourth most abundant after H, He and O. To date, carbon signatures have been detected in different parts of the interstellar medium (ISM), circumstellar medium (CSM) and in our solar system. It is now evident that in the ISM, carbon is present in the form of gas, ice and dust phases. Almost a decade ago, astronomers were able to trace the signature of the largest carbonaceous molecule, fullerene in different parts of the ISM, including planetary nebula (PNe), reflection nebula, and in ionised hydrogen (HII) regions. This has led the growing international astrochemistry community to revisit the formation pathways of different carbon nanostructures under simulated interstellar conditions. The aim of this article is to review and summarise all the experiments relevant to the formation of interstellar carbonaceous dust performed by various groups across the globe.
期刊介绍:
Started in 1914 as the second scientific journal to be published from India, the Journal of the Indian Institute of Science became a multidisciplinary reviews journal covering all disciplines of science, engineering and technology in 2007. Since then each issue is devoted to a specific topic of contemporary research interest and guest-edited by eminent researchers. Authors selected by the Guest Editor(s) and/or the Editorial Board are invited to submit their review articles; each issue is expected to serve as a state-of-the-art review of a topic from multiple viewpoints.
