Abstract

Thin fullerene films formed using the methods of pulsed supersonic molecular beam (SMB) deposition and thermal deposition (TD) in vacuum were studied by thermodesorption (TDS) mass spectroscopy. The TDS spectra of SMB films show a significantly higher temperature of desorption (827.8 K) of fullerene molecules as compared to the value (583 K) observed in the spectra of TD films. It is suggested that the higher binding energies of fullerene molecules in the former films are explained by the formation of polymer structures due to heating in the course of TDS measurements.
