Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the results of our study of the synthesis of endohedral iron-fullerenes. A low energy Fe(+) ion beam was irradiated to C60 thin film by using a deceleration system. Fe(+)-irradiated C60 thin film was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography and laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We investigated the performance of the deceleration system for using a Fe(+) beam with low energy. In addition, we attempted to isolate the synthesized material from a Fe(+)-irradiated C60 thin film by high performance liquid chromatography.
