We report a simple procedure to fabricate single crystals 3D C₆₀ having an FCC structure on silicon substrates using a vapour–solid set-up in vacuum conditions. The morphology of the deposited film can be tuned by controlling the temperature and position of the substrate. The as-fabricated samples are extensively characterised by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope, X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and nano-indentation, which allow us to shed light on the recrystallization process of the C₆₀. In addition, the growth mechanism of the formation of crystalline 3D structure of the C₆₀ film is discussed in detail. Based on the newly gained knowledge of mechanism and its unique properties, fullerene has shown huge potential as a solid lubricant on various kinds of substrates.

我们报告了在真空条件下使用蒸气-固体装置在硅衬底上制造具有FCC结构的单晶3D C ₆₀的简单程序。可以通过控制基板的温度和位置来调整沉积膜的形态。加工后的样品通过透射电子显微镜，扫描电子显微镜，X射线粉末衍射，拉曼光谱，X射线光电子能谱和纳米压痕进行了广泛表征，这使我们能够了解C ₆₀的重结晶过程。。另外，C ₆₀的晶体3D结构形成的生长机理电影进行了详细讨论。基于对机理及其独特性能的最新了解，富勒烯作为固体润滑剂在各种基材上具有巨大的潜力。
