Abstract
C-60 single crystals larger than one centimeter in size are grown with vapo r method by nucleation control and by a proper time-dependent temperature p rocess which allows only one nucleus growing larger and larger. X-ray diffr action patterns exhibit the high quality of the sample. As an example of th e applications of large single C-60 crystals, synchrotron radiation photoem ission spectra are measured to investigate the fine structure of valence ba nds of C-60 crystals.
