Low energy ion irradiation studies of fullerene C70 thin films - An emphasis on mapping the local structure modifications
چکیده انگلیسی
Metal matrix composites have a diverse range of applications. We have probed local structural modifications taking fullerene C70 as a model matrix material. In this study, thin films of fullerene C70 were grown on polished silicon and quartz substrates by resistive heating of fullerene C70. In order to understand local structural changes, these semi-crystalline films were irradiated with 120 keV N+ ions at different fluences ranging from 1 × 1013 to 3 × 1016 ions.cm−2. Microscopic analysis shows an increase in topological roughness up to a fluence of 1 × 1015 ions.cm−2 and then a decrease. The size of the particles decreases with increase in the fluence. Various spectroscopic analyses conducted on differently irradiated fullerene C70 films show that the bandgap decreases with the increase in the fluence which will increase the conductivity of the irradiated thin films. These results are proved by I-V measurements showing the decrease in the resistivity at higher fluences. Therefore, this characteristic trait makes fullerene C70 to be used as a prominent matrix component in the composites. Raman spectroscopic investigations reveal that C70 is completely transformed into amorphous carbon at a fluence of 3 × 1016 ions.cm−2. Different vibrational modes in FT-IR are also reported in the present work.
