Abstrakt: The interaction of a collisionless beam of thermal C60 nanoclusters with a silicon dioxide surface has been investigated with modulated molecular beam-mass spectroscopic techniques. Analysis of the amplitude and phase lag of the desorbed C60 shows the interaction mechanism to involve the elementary steps of sticking, desorption, and long-range surface diffusion. Surface diffusion coefficients determined in this measurement indicate that surface C60 nanoclusters approach two-dimensional gas-like behavior. The sticking probability of C60 clusters on SiO2 is determined to be unity. The best fit desorption rate constant kd for C60 from SiO2 is 5×1010 exp(-23 kcal/mol/RT) in agreement with previous temperature programmed desorption experiments. The efficiencies of electron impact ionization of C60 to C60+ and C60++ is measured for electron energies from 10 to 105 eV for neutrals at 875 K. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
