Abstract
Thin fullerene layers were deposited on quartz resonators with thickne ss-shear vibrations by direct sublimation of C-60 from fullerene conta ining soot. Humidity adsorptive properties of the fullerene layers wer e studied making use of the resonators' mass sensitivity. These layers possess high humidity sensitivity and short response time under cycli c changes of air humidity. This makes them applicable to creating a ne w sensor for measuring relative air humidity.
