The statistical theory of monomolecular fullerene film formation on the crystal surface

Abstract

Paper presented at the 9th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Malta, 16-18 July, 2012.

The theoretical study of fullerene film production on the crystal faces of (100) type of crystals with sc, bcc, fcc lattices is the subject of this paper. The calculation of equilibrium concentration of fullerenes С60, С70 and its dependence on temperature has been carried out. Investigation of processes adsorption-desorption of fullerenes on the crystal surface and possible special features of these processes has been discussed. The developed statistical theory of the process of fullerenes deposition on the metallic substrate permits to explain and justify the possibility of manifestation of these processes and reveal that passing of each process is defined to a large extent by the character and degree of interaction between fullerenes and atoms of metallic substrate.
