C60(buckminsterfullerene) is the most well-known, the most stable, the most readily available, and in many respects, the most interesting member of a recently discovered class of pure carbon molecules known as the fullerenes (1). A method of making macroscopic quantities of fullerene mixtures was described in late 1990 (2), and since that time many scientists have been investigating the properties of C60the higher fullerenes, and their various compounds and derivatives. To date most of the neutron scattering research on these materials has been carried out either at the 20 MW research reactor of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NET) (3), or at the ISIS spallation source, Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory (RAL) (4). In this article we shall describe the research that has interested and occupied us the most, namely diffraction and low energy inelastic scattering studies of solid C60,. Much of the work that we omit is discussed in two recently published reviews (5,6).
