Abstract
The structural stability of C60 films under the bombardment of 1.95 GeV Kr ions is investigated. The irradiated C60 films were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman scattering technique. The analytical results indicate that the irradiation induced a decrease of icosahedral symmetry of C60 molecule and damage of C60 films; different vibration modes of C60 molecule have different irradiation sensitivities; the mean efficient damage radius obtained from experimental data is about 1.47 nm, which is in good agreement with thermal spike model prediction.
