The Hirzebruch surface Fn​ is minimal for n=0 and every n≥2; F1​ is not minimal because its negative section is a (−1)-curve. For n>0, the negative section is the unique irreducible curve of negative self-intersection, so its self-intersection −n distinguishes the isomorphism class. The surfaces Fn​ for n≥2 therefore give infinitely many pairwise nonisomorphic minimal rational surfaces.
