Dendrite and fractal growth of C60 crystals from solution

IN recent years, Cmolecules and fullerence as new functional material have aroused many researchers’ attention. In the full investigation of the structures, properties and potential applications of C, the growth of large, high-quality Csingle crystals is of importance. So far,two kinds of methods have been used to grow Ccrystals: one is the growth from solution, i.e. the Cpowder is dissolved in benzene, toluene and hexane, and thus Ccrystals can be grown by
