fullerenes to achieve their good optoelectronic properties. On the other hand, how to
use the fullerene liquid crystals’ external responsibility to achieve better optoelectrical properties is an important yet currently untouched field. This leads to an
interesting nanotechnology, i.e., arrange [60]fullerene cages in a desired way to
achieve nanolithography.
