Abstract
The sublimation of pure C-60 and the thermal desorption of C-60 fullerene deposited on MgO and graphite samples have been analyzed by mass spectrometry. The experiments have been performed in the Desorption Electron Impact mode (DEI) using a heating current between 40 and 1200 mA. The desorption from a substrate as well as the C-60 sublimation is a first order process with an activation energy of about 200 kJ mole(-1). This value confirms the computational results obtained for van der Waals interaction, The peak broadening in the case of C-60/graphite can be explained by a strong interaction between C-60 and the graphite substrate which is also predicted theoretically.
