  We demonstrate remarkably enhanced yield of C60 fullerenes in an aerosol
discharge chamber due to the additional presence of a strong spatial
temperature gradient. The role of the temperature gradients in the increased
yield of C60 and fullerene-like structures is discussed. The reaction is not
fully reversible and carbon soot matter is formed as a secondary product in the
form of carbon aerosol particles. The increasing concentration of C60 was
easily recognized from the characteristic UV-spectra. The result of this paper
will be useful for improvement of fullerene synthesis technology and for
application to constructing new types of aerosol-plasma reactors.
