چکیده
We performed a study on the fundamental adsorption characteristics of Er3N@C80 deposited on W(110) and Au(111) via room temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Adsorbed on W(110), a comparatively strong bond to the endohedral fullerenes inhibited the formation of ordered monolayer islands. In contrast, the Au(111)-surface provides a sufficiently high mobility for the molecules to arrange in monolayer islands after annealing. Interestingly, the fullerenes modify the herringbone reconstruction indicating that the molecule-substrate interaction is of considerable extent. Investigations concerning the electronic structure of Er3N@C80/Au(111) reveals spatial variations dependent on the termination of the Au(111) at the interface.

Co nanoislands on Au(111) and Cu(111) surfaces studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy.
Co nanoislands on the Au(111) and Cu(111) surfaces have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that Co nanoislands prefer to aggregate at the step edge and dislocation sites on the reconstructed Au(111) surface and at the step edge on the Cu(111) surface, respectively. In addition, based on dZ/dV-V spectra, in both the Co/Au(111) and the ...

The adsorption behavior of α-octithiophene (8T) on the Au(111) surface as a function of 8T coverage has been studied with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy as well as with angle-resolved two-photon photoemission and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. In the sub-monolayer regime 8T adopts a flat-lying adsorption geometry. Upon r...

The diffusion of adatoms or molecules on metal surfaces is the lifeblood of many phenomena as growth. Various microscopic experiences realized by STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscopy) or by AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) techniques at CEMES center show that the determination of some variables is very necessary to overcome many experimental difficulties. In this paper, MM4 (Molecular Mechanics (200...

The tri-para-carboxylic polychlorotriphenylmethyl radical adsorption on a Cu/Au(111) surface has been investigated in ultra-high vacuum environment. The presence of copper favours the formation of metal-organic assemblies, which are analysed using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). DFT methods indicate that the unpaired electron ...
