Abstract

The growth of fullerene C60 films on InP(001)-(2×4) was studied by a set of surface science techniques under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Spectral signature measured by photoelectron and electron energy-loss spectroscopies (UPS, XPS, EELS, HREELS) corresponds to that of bulk C60 both at low (1–2 monolayers (ML)) and high (10 ML) coverage. The result shows a weak bonding, most probably van der Waals interaction, at the molecule-substrate interface. Spectroscopic and microscopic data indicate, that C60 forms 3D clusters at the initial stages of deposition. Electron diffraction (LEED) and tunnelling microscopy (STM) measurements reveal, that further molecule deposition leads to the formation of a well ordered single domain film. From the analysis of our microscopic data a C60-film structure with fcc (111) orientation follows.
