Thin Semiconductor Films of Fullerene C{sub 70} Nanoaggregates on the Surface of a Plane Glass Substrate

It was shown for the first time that, in the volume of an evaporating drop of a fullerene C{sub 70} solution in toluene located on the surface of a glass substrate, the self-organization of C{sub 70} molecules occurs and crystalline nC{sub 70} nanoaggregates of a spherical shape are synthesized. Films of nC{sub 70} nanoaggregates are deposited on a plane surface of a glass substrate. The physical mechanism of the self-organization of C{sub 70} molecules and the formation of large nC{sub 70} nanoaggregates are proposed, namely, Ostwald ripening, according to which relatively large nC{sub 70} nanoaggregates grow through smaller ones. The possibility of using thin films as solar transducers is discussed.
