“…Due to its applications in very diverse fields, like medicine, electronics, chemistry, etc [2], they have aroused the interest of the scientific community. Similarly, a large number of articles were dedicated to the fundamental properties of fullerenes, some of them focused on the growth of C 60 films on different substrates [3][4][5][6][7][8]. In particular, the growth of C 60 on semiconductor surfaces has been broadly investigated due to its applications in solar cell-based devices [9][10][11][12].…”

Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and reflection electron energy loss spectrometry (REELS) were used to characterize the growth and thermal stability of C 60 films deposited on Cu(111). By means of LEED we found that while C 60 grows in an ordered fashion up to the first monolayer (ML) at room temperature (RT), it turns amorphous beyond that point. On the other hand, when the substrate temperature is kept at 450 K, films up to two ML with crystalline structure are obtained. For substrate temperatures beyond 570 K thick films (more than 1 ML) do not grow at all. By using AES, we found that a thick C 60 film starts to desorb at a temperature around 470 K but the first ML remains stable up to temperatures as high as 900 K. A ML with a better crystalline order is obtained after desorption than that growth with the substrate at RT or higher temperatures. When the substrate is heated at 970 K, the first ML is not fully removed but the C 60 molecular structure is altered or molecules break up into smaller pieces. The ion induced damage on C 60 on Cu(111) films was studied for typical ions, incoming energies and irradiation doses used in low energy ion scattering (LEIS) experiments. The D-value of C(KLL) Auger spectra, the π-plasmon of REELS and the evolution of the LEIS spectra, were monitored to characterize the damage caused to the film. We found that, at low doses (∼10 14 ions cm −2 ), damage is only detectable for massive ions like Ar, but not for H and He in the 2-8 keV range.

In this work, is presented the fabrication and characterization of optical fiber refractometer based on lossy mode resonances (LMR). Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) and Tin Dioxide (SnO2) thin films deposited on optical fibers are used as the LMR supporting coatings. These resonances shift to the red as a function of the external refractive index. The refractometer has been used to characterize the degradation of a synthetic industrial gear lubricant oil at working temperature.

“…Depending on the application, humidity is typically monitored by means of, for example, quartz crystal microbalance [1], surface acoustic wave devices [2], fiber optic sensors [3], or integrated sensors [4]. In this paper we investigate whether optical fiber ferrule-top cantilevers [5] can also be used to that purpose.…”

We present an optical fiber ferrule-top sensor for humidity measurements. Changes in water content in a gaseous environment are detected by monitoring the resonant frequency and the quality factor of a cantilever fabricated on top of a ferruled optical fiber. Our experimental data demonstrate that the device offers high resolution and high repeatability.Ferrule-top cantilever, humidity sensor, optical fiber sensor
