Scanning Electron Microscope Pictures of AB6 B.C.C.

For a size ratio of 0.400 and 0.3055 I found a binary with a AB₆ body-centred-cubic structure similar to that seen in the interstitial buckmasterfullerene compound C₆₀K₆.

The images below were taken from samples containing particles with radii 424nm and 130nm and hence have a size ratio of 0.3066. These AB₆ binary crystals took up to 5 months to form which is a long time for any binary system especially when compared with the AB₆ crystals seen at a size ratio of 0.400 which only took 24 hours to form.
