Abstract
Fullerite (C-60) films have been grown on mica, glass, sodium chloride and hard diamond-like carbon over a temperature range from 20 to 250 degrees C. A number of films with contrasting morphologies for differe nt film thicknesses are investigated. Scanning force microscopy and X- ray diffraction are used to analyse the films. The unusual growth char acteristics of molecular C-60 on the different substrates are discusse d and compared. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
