Thin films of the new allotropic form of carbon, Buckminsterfullerene (C60) were deposited on glass substrate via high vacuum deposition by simulating a hot-wall epitaxial system. Starting material was C60 powder purchased from Sigma with a purity of unknown percentage. Preliminary tests were done o...
