Abstract

Results of thermal vacuum evaporation method used for C60 thin films preparation are presented. Fullerene molecules were obtained by arc discharge. The deposition was made on glass, quartz, KBr and mica substrates. The influence of the sublimation temperature and substrate temperature is investigated in order to optimize the deposition, in terms of deposition rate and uniformity.
