Popis: Thin films of C60 polymer were synthesized via electron-beam dispersion (EBD) of a target made of pristine fullerite. Fullerene ion assistance during film deposition resulted in disordered covalent cross-linking of the film material. Electron transport properties of the films were studied in situ and ex situ after the air exposure. Resistivity of the cross-linked film is several orders of magnitude lower than that of nonpolymerized C60 films. UV-Vis absorption spectra of the films showed that cross-linking leads to a significant decrease of the optical gap and increase of the Urbach tail parameter. Electron-transport and magnetic properties of the films were studied in microand nanoscale using SPM techniques.
