Abstract

Geometrically defined C₆₀ self-assembled disks, wires and dots have been systematically obtained via a solution drop-drying process at room temperature; during this process, we discovered that there is a critical correlation between the geometry of the solvent and the final geometry of the self-assembled C₆₀ structure.
