STM topographical images of C60
Description
In this paper STM topographical images of C60 are reported. The images are consistent with a molecule approximately 9 Angstrom in diameter possessing the now-famous soccer ball structure. With the molecule deposited on gold, its atomic structure is not resolved. On graphite the structure of the within the borders of the C60 molecule is dominated by that of the graphite forming a moire-like pattern. Some evidence of atomic structure is seen in multilayers of C60 where some five- and six-membered rings are visible. These may, however, be features of fragments of the fullerene rather than whole molecules
