ABSTRACTWe have developed a new cluster ion source that can generate intense beams of metal and semiconductor clusters of a very wide-size range. With the source, we have observed intense beams of carbon clusters with mean cluster sizes of up to 4000 atoms/clusters. However, we have found that for generating small fullerenes, such as C60 and C70, the recently discovered technique by Kraetschmer et al. is much more efficient. By improving the technique, we have generated gram quantities of C60 and C70 and systematically investigated their thermal desorption properties. During the heating process, we have discovered that at high temperatures the bulk fullerenes, fullerite, transformed to another form of carbon, which still evaporates at temperatures above 700 C, but does not dissolve in benzene.

AbstractWe have produced metal clusters with a molecular beam apparatus based on a Pulsed Arc Cluster Ion Source. The source has been optimized in order to generate intense and stable cluster beams of various elements, with a mass distribution ranging from the monomer up to several thousands of atoms. The source operation conditions can be varied in order to control the mass distribution, intensity and velocity of the aggregates. Preliminary results on the synthesis of granular thin films with this technique are also presented.
