Abstract
Buckminsterfullerene(C-60) has been investigated at the air-water inte rface using Langmuir trough. Surface pressure-Area(pi-A) isotherm show ed differing properties. Particularly, the area/molecule of C-60 was m ore diminished than expected. Quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) was app lied to in-situ weighing of Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films transferred fr om water surface, and suggested that C-60 film does not exist in the f orm of a monolayer at the air-water interface. In-situ weighing could also examine the extent of multilayer formation of C-60 molecules at t he air-water interface.
