Abstract

The present paper reports relationships between structural characteristics of carbon materials and conditions of their production. C60 thin films were grown by a vacuum deposition technique on various substrates. We demonstrate effect of the substrate material and temperature as well as the deposition rate on the crystalline structure of the films, as measured by X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and various nanoclusters, such as carbon-encapsulated nanoclusters of Fe and Fe3O4, were produced by a catalytic disproportionation of carbon monoxide. Structure of these nanomaterials was studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS) analysis and XRD.
