Abstract
Filamentary crystal growth of the fullerene C60 has been achieved. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of filamentary crystals, so-called whiskers, revealed differences in the dimensions and the nature of surfaces depending on their growth temperatures. SEM images of the top surface of the whisker grown at 80°C revealed the following: (1) the crystal habit is an octahedron and (2) the whisker axis is parallel to the fourfold rotational symmetry axis.Keywords
