摘要
We report on ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy of submonolayers of C-60 molecules adsorbed on a Si(111)-(7X7) surface and the statistics of their bonding sites. The images reveal that as the submonolayer coverage increases, the adsorbate-adsorbate interaction becomes larger than that of the adsorbate-substrate interaction. For a full monolayer coverage of adsorbates, the adsorbate-adsorbate interaction becomes strong enough and they form two ordered structural phases registered with those pinned on the substrate corner holes. This result is in contrast to a previous report [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1850 (1993)] stating that several monolayers of adsorbates are required for the formation of the ordered structural phases.
