Study of Metal-Fullerene Films by Spectral Methods

Abstract:

In the presented work the features of formation of metal-fullerene films of the systems Al-C₆₀, Au-C₆₀, Cu-C₆₀, Ti-C₆₀ from atomic-molecular flows in vacuum were investigated, the processes of surface resonance plasmon absorption and diffusion were studied. It is shown that electron microscopy, optical, Auger-electron and X-ray spectroscopy methods are effective for the study of metal-fullerene films. The combination of different methods of spectroscopy and electron microscopy allowed to establish the dependence of the grain size of the films, the shift of the position of the plasmon absorption maximum, diffusion parameters on the ratio of metal and fullerene components, to establish the fact of formation of the chemical compound Cu₆C₆₀.
