N2 - Metal/C60 thin film packaging provides a new class of fullerene-based materials with interesting transport properties, which can be utilized in various applications. Integrated composite systems are however thermodynamically unstable - the thermal annealing can trigger a dramatic alteration of their structure. Here we report on the thermal response of the Ni+C60/C60/Ni multilayer deposited on the MgO(001) crystal. The system exhibited unusual behavior: below 350 °C an unusual growth of the buried, (111) oriented C60 crystallites was observed, while above 350 °C the system rapidly altered - the upper adlayers peeled and the Ni buffer partly intermixed with the MgO substrate. As followed from the RBS analysis, an intriguing structure might be formed at the Ni/MgO interface.
