Question

Within the practice folder, I placed a short pdf article from a 1991 issue of Physics Today that describes the discovery of solid C60 l recommend reading this article, as it incorporates a variety of the topics we've discussed (and will discuss later) in this course. We know from the article and Question #5 that these spherical molecules pack in an fcc configuration. Below is a picture from the article showing a close-packed plane of the C60 molecules. What crystallographic family of planes is depicted in the image below for solid C60?

Explanation / Answer

C60 crystal

The above shown image for the C60

C60 molecule lattice plane by scanning electron microscope (SEM) image shows the lattice plane most probabally,

110

plane
