Cooperative self-assembly of Au atoms and C60 on Au(110) surfaces
Abstract
A new cooperative self-assembly process where C60 molecules adsorbed on Au(110)-(1×2) surfaces induce mass transport of Au surface atoms to form a (1×5) interfacial reconstruction is presented. Scanning tunneling microscopy shows that the underlying Au atomic arrangement is modified, maximizing the number of C60 molecules bonded to the Au ridges in a distorted (6×5) hexagonal overlayer. © 1994 The American Physical Society.
