Abstract
⺠C60 nanorods on Si (1 1 1) substrate were synthesized using Miyazawa LLIP method. ⺠C60 nanorods were irradiated with protons of 2 MeV at different fluencies. ⺠The colour change was observed which indicates a change in the optical band-gap. ⺠The destruction of crystal planes was also observed in the HRTEM. ⺠Irradiated C60-nanorods became insoluble in toluene.
