Positron lifetimes in C 60 and C 70 fullerenes have been measured using Positron Lifetime technique. The analyzed lifetime spectra yields a single lifetime component in agreement with the earlier measurements. XRD measurements have also been used to characterize the fullerene samples. The C 60 and C 70 fullerenes have regular crystallographic face centered cubic structure with lattice constant a = 14.149 Å and 14.903 Å respectively in good agreement with the literature data. The present positron results clearly support the conclusion that positrons do not form positronium in fullerenes.
