Properties of Metal-Fullerene Composites

Abstract:

The results of investigation of mechanical, electrical, thermoelectric and tribological properties of metal-fullerene film composites of Ni-C₆₀ and Ti-C₆₀ systems is presented. It has been found that doping of metals with fullerenes leads to a significant increase in the strength of the material, and a change in the electrical, optical, and other properties of the material. It is established that metal-fullerene films are characterized by low friction coefficients and high wear resistance. It is experimentally shown that metal-fullerene composite thin films possess a capacitive impedance, that the thermopower of Ti-C₆₀ coatings reaches the value of 30 μV/K depending on the Ti/C₆₀ ratio.
