Abstract

A new class of C₆₀ microstructure materials, the C₆₀ micro-flowers, has been synthesized from solution based growth process. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the C₆₀ micro-flowers having sizes of a few micrometers were formed on Si surface. No such flowers formation was observed on glass or metal surfaces. The wide varieties of obtained C₆₀ micro-flowers are the smallest real-looking flowers ever synthesized.
