The total fusion cross sections for the systems ¹²C + ¹²C, ¹⁸O + ¹²C, and ¹⁹F + ¹²C have been measured as a function of bombarding energy and compared with results for other light heavy-ion systems. The presence or absence of oscillations in the fusion excitation function and the overall magnitude of the cross section at high energies appear to depend on the structure of the colliding nuclei.
