    Abstract

    Crystals of icosahedral C60/C70 clusters have been studied using electron diffraction and high-resolution electron microscopy. The as-grown crystals are found to be hexagonally close packed but with a lot of stacking defects. Under electron irradiation they transform into a face-centred cubic structure. Evidence is provided for a close mixture of C60 and C70.
