| dc.description.abstract | The fabrication of solid C$\sb{60}$ device structures by vacuum sublimation methods is described. The experimentally determined threshold of intrinsic conductivity of solid C$\sb{60}$ is $\sim$1.5eV. The observations of ohmic contact and photoinduced voltages in C$\sb{60}$ sandwich structures are observed and explained. The diffusion of silver into C$\sb{60}$ thin films is quantitatively studied. The activation energy for diffusion of silver into C$\sb{60}$ is estimated at 2.5 $\pm$ 0.5 eV. Experiments on KrF excimer laser-induced ablation and the laser-induced conductivity change in solid C$\sb{60}$ are done for the first time. | |
