摘要
A new class Of C-60 microstructure materials, the C-60 micro-flowers, has been synthesized from solution based growth process. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the C-60 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 C-60 micro-flowers are the smallest real-looking flowers ever synthesized. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
