Theoretical study of fullerene C60 and C70 via Raman Spectra method were performed to investigate the Crystal structure of fullerene C60 and C70. . Raman Spectroscopy is particularly well suited to detect small changes in structural morphology of carbon nano materials making it an indispensable tool for many material scientists working with carbon nanostructures. Structure of fullerene C60 lead to interesting application possibilities. And its derivatives such as buckyball clusters, nanotubes, megatubes, polymers, nano onions and fullerene rings have made fullerenes as an active field of research.
Keywords: fullerene, buckminsterfullerene.
