Thickness Correlated Effects of the Crystal and Surface-Structure of C-60 Thin-Films Grown on Mica by Hot-Wall Epitaxy
Thin C-60 films grown on mica by hot wall epitaxy exhibit several structural properties which are strongly correlated with the total layer thickness. Atomic force microscope images as well as reciprocal space maps demonstrate that there is a change in the growth mode of C-60 films exceeding a certain thickness. Additionally, surface cracks appearing on the films are investigated using digital image processing.
