  • Abstract
    The frictional behavior of a C60 monolayer film between graphite substrates is studied using a homebuilt surface force apparatus. The mean frictional force from the C60 monolayers is estimated to be approximately 2 mN, which is one-fifth that of C60 multilayer thin films. The C60 monolayer films exhibit a low frictional force of 2 mN up to one hundred scans under a normal stress of 8 MPa, which indicates that the C60 monolayer film is highly promising for use as a lubricant.
