Abstract
Thin carbon films have been prepared by ArF excimer laser ablation of hard fullerene-based carbon in vacuum. The target material was obtaine d from pressure-temperature treatment of C-60 fullerene. Micro-Raman, electron energy loss, and electron diffraction measurements of deposit ed films reveal distinct evidence of a small microcrystalline diamond fraction. This appears to be the observation of crystalline diamond pr oduced by laser ablation of a nondiamond target. (C) 1996 American Ins titute of Americans.
