[For the entire collection see Zbl 0711.00011.] This paper is the second of four papers concerning Deligne's problem of constructing a functorial Riemann-Roch isomorphism for the determinant line bundle of cohomology of a proper smooth morphism \(p:X\to S\). For the first paper see: the author, Compos. Math. 76, No. 1/2, 101-162 (1990; Zbl 0726.14005). In the first part of this paper the author constructs the Chern functors, in the second part he studies the properties of these functors (like relations to the Gysin functor) and in the third part gives an axiomatic characterisation of the Chern bundles. Finally, one compares some results with the results of \textit{P. Deligne} in Current trends of arithmetical algebraic geometry, Proc. Summer Res. Conf., Arcata/Calif. 1985, Contemp. Math. 67, 93-117 (1987; Zbl 0629.14008).
