Description

We used free electron laser (FEL) to ablate graphite and frozen acetone. FEL ablation of the graphite target produced fullerene (C60)-like films on silicon substrate at room temperature. Acetone in the frozen target was decomposed by FEL if the wavelength was tuned to its infrared absorption band, as revealed by a mass spectrometer. The deposit obtained on silicon from the frozen acetone target was transparent and shaped like glass piece or flat plate. (Copyright (c) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam. All rights reserved.)
