Abstract
The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of a C60 single crystal is presented in this letter. The single‐crystal samples free from solvent contamination were grown up to a size of millimeters order by sublimation of C60 powder with oscillation of the crystal temperature. The electrical conductivity of the single crystal was measured at temperatures between 250 and 295 K. The sharp decrease of the electrical conductivity with temperature around 256 K was observed in association with the phase transition of C60.Keywords
