Abstract
We report the formation of buried K-fulleride layers by high dose implantation of 30 keV K+ at different implant temperatures. Raman scattering showed a transformation of fullerene molecules to amorphous carbon (a-C) within the range of the implanted ions. The microscopic structure of the a-C is discussed. At elevated implant temperatures potassium accumulates underneath the a-C layer. This behaviour is explained in terms of the formation process of a K-fulleride. For comparison, results obtained on Ar+ implanted fullerene films are presented.
