Kinetics of Electron-Beam Dispersion of Fullerite C60    [PDF]

Ihar Razanau, Tetsu Mieno, Victor Kazachenko
Electron-beam dispersion of pressed fullerite C60 targets in vacuum leads to the deposition of thin films containing polymeric forms of C60. The aim of the present report is to analyze physical-chemical processes in the fullerite target during its electron-beam dispersion through the analysis of the kinetics of the radiation temperature of the target surface, the coating growth rate and the density of negative current on the substrate. It was shown that the induction stage of the process is determined by the negative charging and radiation-induced modification and heating of the target. The transitional stage is characterized by nonstationary sublimation of the target material through the pores in the modified surface layer and release of the accumulated negative charge. Stabilization of the process parameters owing to the convection cooling of the target by the sublimation products and the decrease in the pressure inside the microcavities beneath the pores leads to a quasi-stationary stage of target sublimation and deposition of a coating containing polymeric forms of C60.
