Spatially resolved conductance of oriented C₆₀

Schull, Guillaume; Néel, N; Becker, Meike; Kröger, Jochen; Berndt, Richard

The conductance of oriented C₆₀ molecules on Au(111) and Cu(100) was investigated using a low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscope. A remarkable dependence of spectra of the differential conductance on the adsorption orientation is observed for Au(111) that is almost absent for Cu(100). For C₆₀ adsorbed on Au(111), the spatial distribution of the three lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals is revealed by maps of the differential conductance.
