Abstract

ABSTRACTWe have fabricated C60 thin films on various substrates (mica, MoS2, HOPG, LiF, NaCl, KBr, KCl and CaF2) by using continuous-wave laser molecular beam epitaxy (CWL-MBE), which is very suitable technique to grow epitaxial organic thin films because of good controllability of evaporation as compared with Knudsen-cell method. The films were evaluated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction with micro channel imaging plate (MCP-RHEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM images of the C60 films on mica, MoS2 and HOPG substrates show flat and homogeneous, morphology, and epitaxial growth of the films on mica and MoS2 substrates were observed by RHEED. This result shows mica, MoS2, HOPG substrates are good candidates for epitaxial growth of C60 thin films.
