The aim of the present study is to clarify the charge composition of fullerite C60 electron-beam dispersion (EBD) products and investigate the influence of fullerene ions and electrons on the structure of the deposited coatings by applying an additional electrostatic field to the substrates. It was found that C60 EBD products contain positive fullerene ions and electrons. By using Raman and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, laser desorption/ionization mass-spectrometry and atomic force microscopy, it was shown that the assistance of the electrons additionally accelerated up to 300 eV results in the formation of a mixture of dumb-bell- and peanut-shaped C60 polymers. The assistance of the positive fullerene ions additionally accelerated up to 300 eV leads to the formation of highly cross-linked random 3D networks of covalently bonded fullerene molecules.
