Description

For isotope separation of cesium (Cs)-135, the amount of Cs atom or cesium iodide (CsI) that was selectively absorbed into Buckminster-Fullerene (C60) was evaluated. For C60 solid surface exposed to Cs atom or CsI molecule, depth concentration profiles were investigated using angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cs atom was found to penetrate toward C60 bulk. In contrast, C60 did not absorb CsI molecule into deep. (author)
