Abstract
A novel fine carbon wire includes a needle-like fullerene crystal having a smooth surface. The fine carbon wire can be produced by a method including the steps of (1) adding a solution containing the fullerene dissolved in a first solvent to a second solvent having less solvency for the fullerene than the first solvent; (2) forming a liquid-liquid interface between the solution and the second solvent; and (3) depositing a fine carbon wire at the liquid-liquid interface.
