               Thin Film Growth on a Fullerene Molecule

Since the surface of a fullerene molecule is not unlike that of 
graphite, it might be expected that they have similar properties 
when acting as a substrate for thin film growth. The film-substrate 
interaction is indeed similar. However, the fact that the fullerene 
surface is curved and closes on itself leads to interesting differences. 
Both the similarities and the differences will be discussed including 
wetting, atom-packing, and reaction between film and substrate.
