Abstract

We report here the preparation of highly homogeneous multifunctional fullerene thin films for photonics using the electrostatic self-assembled monolayer technique at room temperature for the first time. The monolayers and multilayers were characterized via contact angle measurements, UV-vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. These results demonstrated that close-packed, highly uniform fullerene or fullerene/metal cluster films with micron-thickness could be formed on various substrates including silicon, glass, metal and plastics.
