Over twenty years ago one of us suggested the title was affirmative. In 2012 Cooper pairs were identified in several, but not all aromatic compounds tested, benzene being one. This manuscript discusses the formation of three time-reversed…
The rich molecular structures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons -- essentially planar flakes of fused benzene rings -- and their fullerene cousins are revealed through their vibrational and electronic spectra.
Ubiquitous unidentified infrared emission bands are seen in many astronomical sources. Although these bands are widely, if not unanimously, attributed to the collective emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, no single species from…
We investigate the possibility of electron pairing in small metallic nanoparticles at zero temperature. In these particles both electrons and phonons are mesoscopic, i.e. modified by the nanoparticle's finite size. The electrons, the…
