Abstract
S. Wethekam, M. Busch, ∗ Ch. Linsmeier, and H. Winter Institut fur Physik, Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, Newtonstrasse 15, D-12489 Berlin, Germany. Max-Planck-Institut fur Plasmaphysik, EURATOM Association, Boltzmannstr. 2, D-85748 Garching, Germany. C+60 fullerenes with keV energies are scattered at grazing angles of incidence from atomically clean and flat LiF(001), KCl(001), Al(001), Be(0001), Ni(110) surfaces as well as p(2×1) and p(3×1) oxygen superstructures on Ni(110). The elastic properties of C60 are derived from a comparison of experimental data with 3D molecular dynamics simulations for different interaction potentials. In terms of a simple model for the hybridization of C60 with the surface, we find evidence for a close relation between electronic structure of the surface and elasticity of C60.
