Abstract :
The opportunity to use a fullerite film as a device sensitive to moisture content in environmental space is considered. We investigated, as a function of change of resistance with humidity, its usefulness for the preparation of small-sized integrated humidity sensors. Also, this research can be useful for the study of fullerite properties. The dependence of resistance on humidity is based on the whole complex of the phenomena, which arises at the penetration of moisture in a fullerite film.
