Abstract
Fine fibrous structures of C60 with a diameter on the order of nanometers were discovered in a lead zirconate titanate sol ultrasonically mixed with a toluene solution of C60. By transmission electron microscopy observations, they were identified as single‐crystalline fibers of C60 with submicrometer diameters, i.e., nanowhiskers of C60. The C60 nanowhiskers showed thin slablike TEM images, and the growth axis of the nanowhiskers was parallel to the 〈110〉 close‐packed direction of a fcc crystal system of C60.
