Abstract

C₆₀ and C₇₀ fullerenes were vacuum deposited onto cleaved surfaces of NaCl and mica. Both C₆₀ and C₇₀ formed islands during a first stage of growth, indicative of the Volmer-Weber growth mode. The crystal structure of C₆₀ films on NaCl was f.c.c. with abundant lamella twinning and stacking faults. The structure of C₇₀ films on NaCl was also predominantly f.c.c. when the substrate was held above about 370 K. The films on NaCl were polycrystalline. On mica, single-crystal epitaxial films were formed for both C₆₀ and C₇₀ with the orientation relationship (111)[110]_{C60 or C70}∥(001)[100]_mica.
