Atomically resolved phase transition of fullerene cations solvated in helium droplets

'Atkins snowballs', solid layers of helium around an ion core in bulk superfluid He, have been investigated for simple ions but many properties remain unknown. Here, the authors show via photofragmentation experiments that a phase transition occurs in C60-doped He droplets depending on the...
