Abstract
X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe x-ray spectrum microanalysis, and Auger-electron spectroscopy were used to study the variations in the structure and elemental and phase compositions of tin-fullerite films stored in air. A new phase SnxC60, tin whiskers, and fullerite “flowers and petals” were found to form under internal compressive stresses.
