Abstract

Crystals of C60 grown from solution or by vapour deposition often exhibit platelike morphologies, and electron diffraction patterns of these crystals show forbidden reflections whose origin has not been fully explained. We suggest that the anomalous reflections arise from the presence of twins in the crystallites, and that this provides an explanation for their rapid platelike growth.
