High-quality C-60(111) single crystal films have been grown on Ni3Fe(1
11), Ni3Co(111) and Ni3Fe(110) surfaces using hot-wall diffusion metho
d. X-ray diffraction results show that well-ordered films can be obtai
ned near 150 degrees C on these substrates. The high quality of the fi
lms could be attributed to the perfect lattice match between C-60 film
and substrates, low growth rate of C-60, and the suitable substrate t
emperature. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
