摘要
The growth of crystalline C-60 films on Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. It is found that the films on these two silicon substrates, which consist of both partially ordered monolayer and crystalline islands, differ in their morphologies. The results are explained in terms of the relative strength of interaction of the first monolayer of C-60 molecules with the silicon substrate and the C-60 islands above it. Annealing the samples to elevated temperatures causes the C-60 islands to evaporate, leaving a full layer of C-60 molecules capped on the substrate.
