Synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of ceramic-fullerene thin films
… the role that dispersed fullerenes play in the thermal behavior of co-deposited films has been characterized. The presence of C60 within the films has been confirmed using a new application of electron impact mass spectrometry, and the structure and stability of dispersed C60 in Zr and ZrO2 have …
