Abstract
The initial adsorption of C60 molecules on an Al nanocluster array template, an Si(111)-7× 7 surface with an Al nanocluster array, was observed at various temperatures using a variable temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). STM images showed that C60 molecules stay above the dimer lines near the corner hole, with one of the 6—6 bonds facing toward the adsorbing surface and forming chemical bonds with two neighboring corner Si adatoms. The strong interaction immobilized C60 molecules on the adsorbing template. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2010.354]
