Abstract.
The formation in water of highly stable hydrated clusters (Ih symmetry group) and microcrystals (Th symmetry group) from C60 fullerenes is theoretically predicted using a molecular dynamics calculation. The proposed models are confirmed by the experiments on the Raman and absorption spectra of the fullerene aqueous solution. The additional study of the structure of C60 fullerene aggregates in the dry layer on the support (dielectric/semiconductor) is also performed.
