Abstract

Caged fullerene C₂₀ solids were successfully synthesized by means of ion beam irradiation method. The characterization of structures and features of C₂₀ crystal have been performed using various complementary analysis techniques, such as high-resolution transmission electron microscope, electron diffraction, laser desorption post-ionization, and Raman spectroscopy. These results indicate that in condensed phases C₂₀ molecules can act as dodecahedron carbon cages; in particular the capability of acting as a building blocks of hexagonal crystal.
