Abstract

Positron lifetimes in C60 and C70 fullerenes have been measured using Positron Lifetime technique. The analyzed lifetime spectra yields a single lifetime component in agreement with the earlier measurements. XRD measurements have also been used to characterize the fullerene samples. The C60 and C70 fullerenes have regular crystallographic face centered cubic structure with lattice constant a = 14.149 Å and 14.903 Å respectively in good agreement with the literature data. The present positron results clearly support the conclusion that positrons do not form positronium in fullerenes.
