Description
Summary:Small-angle neutron scattering study of the solution of fullerene C 60 in carbon disulfide is presented. The dependence of cluster state in the solution on the preparation procedure is reported. The effect of larger value of the measured radius of gyration of a particle in solution is discussed. It is shown that it cannot be described by the existence of C 60 solvates, or excluded volume effect. We attribute the effect of higher R g to the existence of small clusters in solution and estimate their amount.
