Abstract
We report on the fabrication and characterization of ultrathin self-assembl ed fullerene films. Using a carboxy-functionalized fullerene and poly(ethyl en imine) we prepare fullerene films with the technique of layer-by-layer a dsorption. Our structures exhibit a modulated electron density as evidenced by the observation of a quasi-Bragg reflection in X-ray reflectivity studi es. This relatively high degree of order is attributed to the formation of hydrogen bonds.
