Abstract
We report here the high-energy (1 MeV) electron irradiation effects on C60 films. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction results are consistent and provide clear evidence of the nondestruction of C60 molecules upon irradiation. The presence of C60 signature peaks in the spectra of all three techniques indicates that the C60 films have not been transformed into a hitherto proposed structure of amorphous carbon for low-energy irradiation. A very short collision time mechanism has been proposed to explain the observation.
