Abstract
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations have been made for pure C60 (99.8%) single crystals. Morphological features obtained from SEM images were compared to those of a truncated octahedron, which is one of the habits of face-centered cubic crystals. Experimental results of interfacial angles between facets showed excellent agreement with those expected from the model.Keywords
