ABSTRACTC60 films have been deposited using a partially ionized cluster beam deposition (PIBD) technique. The experimental results show that as Va. exceeds about 400 V almost all the C60 molecules fragmentate at collision with the substrate and the obtained films turn to be amorphous carbon layers at elevated Va, indicated by measurements of Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction, and ellipsometry.

ABSTRACTFilms (with thicknesses about thousands A) of a new form of carbon allotrope, CIO also known as Fullerenes, are deposited on Si(111) substrates using ionized cluster beam deposition (ICBD) technique at low (65V) accelerating voltage V. X-ray &-20 diffraction (XRD) have been used to investigate the structural properties of C6Ofi lms, indicating hexagonal close-packed structure with strong (002) XRD assignment together with weak (100), (112) and(004) assignments. Raman spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) are carried out to make detailed studies of the electronic properties of the films and to illustrate differences between CO films and amorphous carbon films which are deposited by ICBD at high accelerating voltage V >400V. Cio soccer-balls are found to be broken into fragments as accelerating field overtakes about 400V, indicated by the results of XPS, Raman spectra, XRD, and UV/visible absorption spectra.

ABSTRACTIonized cluster beam deposition (ICBD) technique has been used to deposit Ag films on both Si(111) and Si(100) substrates. Sizes of clusters in ionized cluster beam are found to distribute in a range of 100–600 atoms/cluster. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and α-step profile methods are used to analyze the properties of Ag films. As a comparison, Ag films deposited by conventional evaporation are also investigated. Highly textured Ag films with strong (111) orientation on Si (111) have been obtained at high accelerating voltage Va=4kV. The crystallinity and surface flatness of Ag films can be improved by ICBD at high accelerating voltages.

ABSTRACTC60 films, which are deposited by partially ionized beam deposition (PIBD), are doped by 100 keV boron ion implantation at dose ranging from 3*1014 to 1*1016 cm2 The implantation process has been studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Almost all C60 soccer-balls in the doped region in the films are found to be broken at dose of 1*1016 cm2, while at dose less than 6*1014 cm2 a few C60 molecules remain undestroyed and maintain the original structural properties.

AbstractA new member of the LnMIn5 family, ErCoIn5, has been synthesized by a flux-growth method. The structure of ErCoIn5 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/mmm, Z = 1, with lattice parameters a = 4.5400(4) and c = 7.3970(7) Å, and V = 152.46(2) Å3. Electrical resistivity data show metallic behavior. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show this compound to be antiferromagnetic with TN = 5.1 K. We compare these experimental results with those of LaCoIn5 in an effort to better understand the effect of the structural trends observed on the transport and magnetic properties.
