Abstract
Noble gas ions have been implanted into fullerene in the solid state u p to fluences which far exceed the molecular destruction threshold. Th e corresponding depth profile peaks in Rutherford backscattering exper iments move strongly towards the surface signal with increasing fluenc e. This suggests a high degree of target erosion due to collisional sp uttering. One consequence of this process can be an interesting and ba sic effect on the nature of the fullerene destruction products.
