Abstract

We have used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to study monolayer coverages of C60 on a Au(111) substrate at 4.5 K. The STM images clearly show internal structure on all C60 molecules. The patterns can be related to a structural model of the C60 molecule assuming the corrugation maxima correspond to the centers of the carbon ring structures.
