Abstract
The room-temperature form of C60 and C70 crystals is studied by means of high-resolution electron microscopy. Some contrast effects on high-resolution images, specific to the materials consisting of molecules with a spherical shell shape, are presented. The observed defect configurations are very similar to those of f.c.c. metals and alloys with a low stacking-fault energy. Lattice reIaxation at twin interfaces, surfaces and stacking faults as well as surface reconstruction are also discussed.Keywords
