Abstract

The electrophysical properties of powder samples of graphite and C60 fullerene have been studied in vacuum, oxygen ambient, and air. Room-temperature conduction of the samples has a percolative character. An increase of temperature brings about an increase of sample conductivity caused by oxygen desorption from the bulk. A peak-shaped feature not observed before has been found in the temperature behavior of the resistance of finely dispersed C60 and graphite powder samples in the T=310–340 K interval. Oxygen atoms were found to be involved in charge transport in powder samples of graphite and C60 fullerene through their electrical activity on the surface of grains differing in size.
