The aim of the present study is to clarify the charge composition offullerite C60 electron-beam dispersion (EBD) products and investigate theinfluence of fullerene ions and electrons on the structure of the depositedcoatings by applying an additional electrostatic field to the substrates. Itwas found that C60 EBD products contain positive fullerene ions and electrons.By using Raman and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infraredspectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, laser desorption/ionizationmass-spectrometry and atomic force microscopy, it was shown that the assistanceof the electrons additionally accelerated up to 300 eV results in the formationof a mixture of dumb-bell- and peanut-shaped C60 polymers. The assistance ofthe positive fullerene ions additionally accelerated up to 300 eV leads to theformation of highly cross-linked random 3D networks of covalently bondedfullerene molecules.
