Abstract

Structures of micelles ofN-(monohydrofullerenyl)-l-alanine and their associates were studied by tunneling scanning microscopy in the regime of a profilometer with a 10-nm resolution along the vertical line. The data obtained show that the micelles of the compound studied are anisodiametric particles 0.5–10 μm in size containing negligible amounts of water. The thickness of the micelles depends on their lengths.
