Abstract

Crystal orientation-ordered C₆₀ nanorod bundles have been assembled, where each C₆₀ nanorod maintains its individual shape and identity with unpolymerized bucky balls and all of the nanorods are vertically aligned with a high density. The key to this lies in the assembly of the C₆₀ nanorod bundles from the nanoscopic to microscopic and macroscopic scale. The novel structure of C₆₀ nanorod bundles leads to a high photoresponse, which is promising for applications in optical devices.
